We used a Before-After/Control-Impact (BACI) design to test treatment effects on the beetle community composition, diversity, richness, evenness, individual species abundances, and trophic structure. We documented 289 taxa of Coleoptera and found that treatments caused significant changes in the beetle community’s composition, with 21 common species increasing and 35 species declining in the more open post-treatment sub-canopy environment.",
