Ground‐Dwelling Spider Community Responses to Forest Management in a Mediterranean Oak Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The effect of two alternative forest management practices on spider community were tested in a Quercus pubescens forest. Negative effects were observed as soon as 25% thinning, while wood residue retention had little effects on spiders. Pardosa saltans, the dominant species of our data set, appears to be a suitable candidate for a sentinel species ...

Do oribatid mites of tropical montane rainforests respond to nitrogen and phosphorus additions?

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) depositions worldwide are increasing the risks of biodiversity and functionality loss in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in tropical regions. However, the effects of increased nutrient inputs on soil biodiversity in tropical regions remain largely unknown.

Positive Effects of Inter‐Row Vegetation on Soil Fauna and Organic Matter Decomposition in Mediterranean Vineyards

Soil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 3, July‐September 2025.
ABSTRACT Soil is a key compartment providing important ecosystem services for sustainable agriculture. Our study examined the effects of three inter‐row vegetation types on soil biological activity, mesofauna, and organic matter decomposition in 15 Mediterranean vineyards of South‐eastern France. The three vegetation types included inter‐rows sown with

The wood economics spectrum modulates the positive effects of termite foraging intensity on deadwood invertebrate diversity

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1498-1509, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract How populations of ecosystem engineers are both driven by and drive biodiversity is poorly known, even less so in detrital subsystems. Deadwood plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
