Physical, chemical and biological aspects of human impacts on urban soils of Szeged (SE Hungary) [PDF]
Urban soils have generally suffered significant alteration both regard-ing their physical, chemical, as well as biological properties. Soil samples were taken at 25 sites from horizons of soil profiles located in the downtown and surroundings of Szeged ...

Oribatid mites – inconspicuous diversity from the soil:
Hornmilben sind faszinierende Tiere. Vor über 500 Millionen Jahren entstanden, leben sie heute in hohen Dichten und in großer Vielfalt in den unterschiedlichsten Ökosystemen und Mikrohabitaten auf der ganzen Welt – ein langer Zeitraum, der sich auch in ...

Season affects soil oribatid mite communities more than tree diversity in subtropical forests
Biodiversity is declining on a global scale with detrimental effects on ecosystem functioning. Effects of reduced tree diversity on the diversity of aboveground animals have been studied in detail, whereas the response of soil animals remains poorly ...

Seasonal fluctuation of oribatid mite communities in forest microhabitats [PDF]
Oribatid mites are abundant and diverse decomposers in almost all terrestrial microhabitats, especially in temperate forests. Although their functional importance in the decomposition system in these forests has been investigated, spatio-temporal ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...
