摘要：On the basis of the list of saproxylic beetles of Germany, the authors present a
definition and list of "Urwald relict species", comprising 115 beetles that are
considered to be associated with primeval forest ("Urwald") structures and
features. We use the term "habitat tradition" to describe a continuity in supply
of old growth dead wood and forest structures. The selection of species is made
on behalf of the following criteria: relict records in Central Europe;
attachment to continuity of deadwood resources and habitat tradition; continuity
of old growth stand features like tree and deadwood maturity and diversity;
absence from cultivated Central European forest.
