We present a list of beetles that emerged from wind-felled tree trunks of several tree species, including European ash (), aspen (), common oak (), birch ( sp.), small-leaved linden () and black alder (). Four hundred and ninety species and 60 families of beetles were collected using trunk-emergence type traps. We found 440 beetle species that had previously been recorded from dead wood; the remaining 50 were newly discovered and all were considered as not directly associated with dead wood. Common oak trunks had the highest diversity of beetles, with approximately 42% of the identified beetle species found in our research. Of all the beetle species identified in the study, about half are saproxylic, while the remaining are considered as not having direct association with dead wood. The results of the study emphasise the importance of dead wood in maintaining beetle diversity in Lithuanian forests. This study provides a valuable baseline for future research on beetles in dead wood in Lithuania and may help to provide information for conservation efforts to protect these important habitats.
我们列出了从几种树种的风倒树干中出现的甲虫清单，这些树种包括欧洲白蜡树、白杨、普通橡树、桦树（桦木属）、小叶椴树和黑桤木。使用树干诱捕器收集了490种甲虫，分属于60个科。我们发现其中440种甲虫先前已在枯木中被记录过；其余50种是新发现的，并且都被认为与枯木没有直接关联。普通橡树树干中的甲虫多样性最高，在我们的研究中发现的已鉴定甲虫物种约有42%来自于此。在该研究中鉴定出的所有甲虫物种中，约一半是蛀木性的，而其余的则被认为与枯木没有直接关联。研究结果强调了枯木在维持立陶宛森林甲虫多样性方面的重要性。这项研究为立陶宛未来关于枯木中甲虫的研究提供了宝贵的基线，并可能有助于为保护这些重要栖息地的保护工作提供信息。
