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 ...

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 ...
