  abstract = {{L}inear transportation infrastructures ({LTI}s) are established drivers of habitat fragmentation and barrier effects. {Y}et, they represent an increasing surface of managed seminatural habitats where increased consideration of biodiversity outputs is needed in an era of global biodiversity decline. {A} combined effort by both scientists and stakeholders is, therefore, needed to evaluate the promises and limits of these alternatives so that they best achieve their conservation potential. {O}ur study explores the effects of forest powerline clearings on biodiversity, as well as the potential benefits of integrated vegetation management ({IVM}) as alternatives to clear-cuts. {W}e recorded the acoustic activity at 35 pairs of forest/clearing stations in two forested regions of {F}rance in 2021. {O}ur results suggest that powerline clearings represent increased movement opportunities for bats and, most particularly, edge-foraging species. {T}hey also provide suitable habitats for bush-cricket species, particularly species requiring thermophilic conditions. {W}e detected no direct benefit from {IVM} on bat communities. {H}owever, bush-cricket communities appeared richer, more acoustically active, and statistically different from adjacent forests in clearings favoring secondary vegetation compared with clear-cut ones. {T}his collaborative study provides data on understudied taxa in the context of {LTI}s and sheds light on conservation promises and limits associated with their management. {W}e recorded the acoustic activity underneath 35 powerline clearings in two {F}rench forests in 2021. {I}ncreased acoustic activity reveals increased movement opportunities for bats and enhanced habitat suitability for thermophilic bush-cricket species. {I}ntegrated vegetation management ({IVM}) shows limited direct benefits for bat communities but fosters richer and more active bush-cricket communities. image},
