Short‐term responses of beetle assemblages to wildfire in a region with more than 100 years of fire suppression

Abstract.  1. Suppression of wildfires in boreal landscapes has become widespread and has seriously affected many fire favoured species. However, little is known about the response of organism assemblages to large wildfires in regions with a long history of effective fire suppression, such as Scandinavia.
