Plant roots fuel tropical soil animal communities

Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 742-753, May 2023., 2023
Our study quantifies the importance of litter vs. living root resources for soil animals across 30 taxonomic groups after conversion of rainforest into monoculture plantations. The results suggest that roots are of similar importance to litter for the soil animal food web, with root trenching effects being stronger in soil than in litter and litter ...

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

After 100 years: a detailed view of an eumalacostracan crustacean from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Lagerstätte with raptorial appendages unique to Euarthropoda

Lethaia, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 55-72, January 2021., 2021
The Solnhofen Konservat‐Lagerstätte yields a great number of remarkably preserved fossils of eumalacostracan crustaceans that help us understand the early radiation of several groups with modern representatives. One fossil from there, Francocaris grimmi Broili, 1917 is a small shrimp‐like crustacean originally described about 100 years ago as a ...
