Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2025.
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 ...

Haemocyanin of some Oniscidea.

open access: yesActa biochimica Polonica, 1992
In the haemolymph of Oniscidea haemocyanin exists mainly in the form of hexamer 16S (90%); the 5S and 24S components are present in small amounts. Alkaline dissociation of the examined 16S haemocyanins is dependent on pH and divalent cations (Ca2+,Mg2+).

Revision of the Neotropical Scleropactidae (Crustacea: Oniscidea) [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2007
The species of Scleropactidae from America are revised and redescribed. A phylogeny hypothesis based on an analysis of morphological characters is presented. The genera are redefined and the generic placement of several species is corrected. The Neotropical Scleropactidae include Colomboscia, Scleropactes, Circoniscus, Neosanfilippia, Sphaeroniscus ...

A check-list of Oniscidea (Isopoda, Crustacea) from Dobruja (Romania) [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2003
The authors record 41 species of Oniscidea in Dobruja belonging to 10 families and emphasize two main characteristics of the Isopod fauna from this region: a high degree of endemicity and the affinities with the East Mediterranean living world manifested

Optimizing eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Assessing Arthropod Communities in Tree‐Related Microhabitats

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
This study highlights the significance of using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to study forest arthropods associated with tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs) and deadwood. We find that our tree surface sampling effectively captured ecologically significant arthropods associated with TreMs, exhibiting overlap with other deadwood sediment samples ...

Rewilding soil and litter invertebrates and fungi increases decomposition rates and alters detritivore communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
Rewilding entire communities of invertebrates and fungi during ecological restoration increased detritivore abundances. We found this had cascading effects that enhanced the efficiency of decomposition in revegetated farmland sites. Abstract Habitat degradation and associated reductions in ecosystem functions can be reversed by reintroducing or ...

Nature‐Inspired Anti‐Reflective Texturization for Solar Energy Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 2, January 22, 2024.
Solar energy is a renewable energy source. One of the primary obstacles to its efficient utilization lies in addressing optical losses. In this review, we offer a thorough examination of texturization, which takes place in nature and has been recently explored as a method to suppress an inevitable reflection and enhance surface transparency.
