Urban soil quality deteriorates even with low heavy metal levels: An arthropod‐based multi‐indices approach

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Urban‐induced habitat conversion drastically changes soil life in a variety of ways. Soil sealing, human disturbance, habitat fragmentation, industrial and vehicular pollution are the main causes of urban soil degradation. Soil arthropods, as one of the most abundant and diverse group of soil fauna, are involved in many soil processes that are

Enchytraeid assemblages at the foot of a talus slope in Skansbukta on the Arctic island of Spitsbergen

Soil Organisms, 2019
Enchytraeids are an important component of Arctic ecosystems both as decomposers and part of the foodchain. Compared to other regions of the High Arctic, the enchytraeid fauna of Spitsbergen and some other islands of the Svalbard archipelago have been ...

Composition and vertical distribution of agricultural soil Macrofauna community after an extreme high temperature event in the summer of 2022

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Extreme high temperature (EHT) events are becoming more frequent and prolonged due to global climate change. Predicting the effects of EHT events on agricultural soil fauna remains a major challenge.

Diesel exhaust particles alter gut microbiome and gene expression in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Here we studied if airborne particulate matter from traffic is a potential driver of insect decline. We exposed workers of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris to sublethal doses of diesel exhaust particles and brake dust, orally or via air. Oral exposure to diesel exhaust particles changed microbiome composition and altered gene expression. Abstract Insect

First record of terrestrial Enchytraeidae (Annelida: Clitellata) in Versailles palace's park, France [PDF]

, 2017
France can be qualified as terra incognita regarding terrestrial enchytraeids because very little data has been recorded so far in this country. In spring and autumn 2016, enchytraeid communities were investigated in a loamy soil in a meadow located in ...

Synecological response of spring benthic prokaryotes and macroinvertebrates to Paleozoic roof pendant‐derived calcium

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite the ecological significance of desert springs, little is known about relationships between spring hydrogeochemistry and ecology, particularly over multiple trophic levels. Here, we surveyed microbial communities (bacteria and archaea) and benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) communities in springs that recharge through granitoid bedrock in ...

Parallel duplication and loss of aquaporin‐coding genes during the “out of the sea” transition as potential key drivers of animal terrestrialization

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2022-2040, April 2023., 2023
Abstract One of the most important physiological challenges animals had to overcome during terrestrialization (i.e., the transition from sea to land) was water loss, which alters their osmotic and hydric homeostasis. Aquaporins are a superfamily of membrane water transporters heavily involved in osmoregulatory processes.

The influence of soil communities on the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration [PDF]

, 2018
Soil respiration represents a major carbon flux between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere, and is expected to accelerate under climate warming.

Population dynamics of free-swimming Annelida in four Dutch wastewater treatment plants in relation to process characteristics [PDF]

, 2008
Free-swimming Annelida occasionally occur in very high densities in WWTPs (WasteWater Treatment Plants) and are nowadays applied for waste sludge reduction, but their growth is uncontrollable.
