Multi‐trophic bottom‐up effects of plant functional diversity on arthropod communities in a tropical forest restoration experiment

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2449-2461, August 2026.
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?

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
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.

Terrestrial Arthropod Responses to Arctic Cryosphere Degradation

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
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

open access: yes, 2022
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.

Autumn inversion tillage reduces beneficial arthropods and delays their recovery into the following crop growing season

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
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.
