1 INTRODUCTION Land use is leading to changes in biotic communities worldwide (Keck et al., 2025). One of the major reasons is the selective loss of specific resources typical of natural landscapes, including certain forms of necromass (Benbow et al., 2019; Moore et al., 2004), e.g., large dead trees, large dung piles, or carcasses of larger animals. Consequently, many species that have adapted to these resources have become rare or extinct by increasing land use intensity (Seibold et al., 2015).
