This research explores the diversity of beetle species in Swedish oak forests through the innovative use of biodiversity pheromones. The project aims to assess how environmental degradation influenced by human activities affects beetle populations across southern Sweden. By employing pheromone traps, the study will provide detailed insights into the geographical distribution and ecological preferences of these beetles, focusing on variations from north to south and east to west. Additionally, the impact of climate change on the range and diversity of these species will be examined, with particular attention to the implications for conservation and forest management.
