European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles
Saproxylic beetles are insects that depend on dead and decaying wood for at least part of their lifecycle and play important ecological roles in European habitats. The current IUCN European Red List provides an assessment of 693 species of saproxylic beetles. In 2008, following a two-year project, a total of 436 species were assessed. In this report (2017-18), an additional selection of 257 species were assessed.
