Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
We 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 ...

A Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Additions to the centipede (Chilopoda) fauna of the Maltese Islands, with new distributional records and an updated checklist

Soil Organisms, 2021
Three chilopod species are recorded as new for the Maltese archipelago, and two species are recorded for the first time from the island of Comino. The local distribution of previously-recorded species is updated with new data.

Linking agricultural diversification practices, soil arthropod communities and soil health

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1952-1963, September 2023., 2023
Soil arthropods respond to agricultural diversification and can be used as bioindicators to assess the effects of diversification on soil health. Below‐ground arthropod communities are structured by crop type, suggesting that planting specific crops may promote soil arthropods and their services. We showed that incorporating winter pea and forage crops

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

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 ...

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022
Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...

Forest disturbance and arthropods: small‐scale canopy and understory disturbances alter movement of mobile arthropods

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Dispersal of ground‐dwelling arthropods is understudied in forest ecosystems, which hinders understanding of effects of disturbances on population dynamics. The objective of the study was to quantify movement of ground‐dwelling arthropods in response to a factorial combination of canopy gap formation via girdling and understory vegetation ...

Tentorial mobility in centipedes (Chilopoda) revisited: 3D reconstruction of the mandibulo-tentorial musculature of Geophilomorpha

ZooKeys, 2015
Mandibular mechanisms in Geophilomorpha are revised based on three-dimensional reconstructions of the mandibulo-tentorial complex and its muscular equipment in Dicellophilus carniolensis (Placodesmata) and Hydroschendyla submarina (Adesmata).
