Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant diversity affects both ecosystem functioning and the functional and taxonomic diversity of multiple trophic levels. However, in the literature, it is unclear if this pattern is driven by species richness per se or by the functional diversity or composition (e.g ...

Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition?
The forest floor (FF) is a key component of carbon, nutrient, and water cycling and represents the most biologically active part of forest soils. Despite its importance, its response to environmental change and forest management remains insufficiently studied.

Oribatid mites of Madagascar (Acari: Oribatida)
Around 350 Oribatid mite species are listed from Madagascar, with their synonyms and distribution data. New records are provided for 29 species from which three species are new to the fauna of Madagascar: Acrotritia reticulata (Mahunka, 1988), Malaconothrus (Malaconothrus) cf.

Terrestrial Arthropod Responses to Arctic Cryosphere Degradation
Changes in Arctic snow and ice are impacting terrestrial arthropods—for example, thinner snowpacks alter phenological synchrony and soil fauna survival; thawing permafrost increases decomposition, and glacial ice loss leads to the disappearance of adapted specialists; sea ice decline will have many indirect impacts for arthropods.

Morphological identification of oribatid mites
Zemne grinje (oribatidne grinje) rasprostranjene su po cijelom svijetu i igraju bitnu ulogu ne samo u ekosustavu kao razlagači biljnog detritusa, već i u veterinarskoj medicini zbog uloge posrednika u razvojnom ciklusu trakavica.

Responses to tillage were taxon‐specific and likely depended on life‐stage and the dependency on structural habitat complexity. Management should balance trade‐offs between retaining local communities, meeting the needs of multiple taxa, and accounting for taxonomic and functional richness over time.
