Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

Translocation of arthropods with Sphagnum biomass during the establishment of a Sphagnum cultivation site

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We investigated the accidental translocation of arthropods with donor material during the establishment of a Sphagnum cultivation site. Although arthropods from 11 different orders were identified in the donor material, only Araneae, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera were found in significant numbers at the recipient site.
