Abundance, biomass and species richness of macrozoobenthos along an intertidal elevation gradient. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 This study investigates the spatio‐temporal dynamics of macrozoobenthos communities on back‐barrier tidal flats in the East Frisian Wadden Sea. They found significant changes in species composition and a decrease in abundance and species richness from west to east on the East Frisian Islands, while extremely high total organic carbon content was ...

Species composition of shoreline wolf spider communities vary with salinity, but their diets vary with wrack inflow. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 A small change in salinity (5‰ vs 7‰) cause total turnover of wolf spider species composition. Wolf spider diets do not vary between species. Wolf spider diets differ between sites with or without a thick wrack bed. Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high ...

Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions. [PDF]
Ecol LettWe developed a novel framework combining stable isotope analysis of essential amino acids and energy fluxes to quantify basal resource contributions and trophic positions of meso‐ and macrofauna detritivores (Collembola, Oribatida, Diplopoda, Isopoda, Lumbricidae) and predators (Mesostigmata, Chilopoda) in 48 forest sites of different management ...

Studies of the Enchytraeidae of North America
Illinois Natural History Survey Bulletin, 1914 In spite of the fact that the forms belonging to the family Enchytraeidae are common in many parts of North America, it is a group of which little is known. Less than a dozen references constitute the literature on the North American species. The writer has been carrying on investigations in this field in Illinois for the last three years, and the ...

Comparison of Morphological and DNA-Based Identification Methods to Assess Earthworm (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) Diversity at 25 Permanent Soil Monitoring Sites in Germany. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe present contribution should contribute to solving the problem of the time‐consuming and expensive identification of soil invertebrates in the standardised survey of soil organisms. Earthworms and soil were sampled at 25 sites; the animals were identified morphologically and by community DNA (comDNA) and environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, and ...
