Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10686-10708, August 2021., 2021 Conversion of rainforests into plantation systems altered the composition of Collembola communities with potential consequences for decomposition processes and other ecosystem services they provide. The community composition of Collembola differed to a similar extent between rainforest, jungle rubber, and monoculture plantations suggesting that ...

Size compartmentalization of energy channeling in terrestrial belowground food webs
Ecology, Volume 102, Issue 8, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Size‐structured food webs form integrated trophic systems where energy is channeled from small to large consumers. Empirical evidence suggests that size structure prevails in aquatic ecosystems, whereas in terrestrial food webs trophic position is largely independent of body size.

SURVEY OF MITES ASSOCIATED WITH GRAIN RESIDUES AND MIXED FLOUR IN WAREHOUSES AND MILLS IN GREAT CAIRO [PDF]
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2006 Twenty one mite species belonging to 3 suborders and 11 families were found in grain residues and mixed flour samples collected from warehouses and mills at Great Cairo. They were 12 pest species, 7 predatory and 2 parasitic species.

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 38-49, January 2020., 2020 Abstract Aim Positive relationships in compositional similarity between consumer and resource assemblages are widely known in free‐living taxa, but less is known about parasites and their hosts. We investigated whether congruent patterns of assemblage similarity across diverse taxa of hosts and parasites exist at a continental scale and quantified the ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 25, Issue 10, Page 3549-3561, October 2019., 2019 How soil food web complexity modulates the response to drought of soil functions related to C cycling and the capture and transfer below‐ground of recent photosynthate C by plants? We provide an exciting 13C pulse‐labelling experiment to answer that question.
