Changes in trophic niches of oribatid mites with transformation of tropical rainforest systems - from rainforest into rubber and oil palm plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia
(2021-01-05)During the last decades especially tropical regions suffered from degradation as well as transformation of landscapes into different land-use systems. Logged rainforest sites in Southeast Asia are often transformed into ... -
Changes in trophic structure of decomposer communities with land use in Central European temperate forests
(2014-03-05)Soil animals affect major ecosystem processes, such as nutrient cycling and soil formation, and thereby play a central role in aboveground - belowground interactions. Soil animal food webs are complex trophic networks ... -
Community structure, trophic ecology and reproductive mode of oribatid mites (Oribatida, Acari) in forest ecosystems
(2012-12-19)Oribatid mites are predominantly soil-living organisms reaching densities of up to 400,000 individuals per square meter in forest soils, where they contribute to decomposition processes and nutrient cycling. In acidic ... -
Effects of temperature and body mass on soil communities
(2013-01-11)The Earth is undergoing a climate change with predicted increases in temperature by up to 6° C until 2100. How this warming affects soil food webs is of fundamental interest for mankind as it may influence global food ... -
Genetic diversity of sexual and parthenogenetic soil living arthropods (Collembola) in Europe: colonization patterns, pre-glacial diversifications and founder effects
(2016-04-01)Large parts of northern and central Europe were covered by ice sheets and permafrost due to climate changes in Europe during the last ice age (2.7 million to 11.7 kya). Plant and animal species had to adapt to lower ... -
Molecular Analysis of Centipede Predation
(2013-09-30)Soil food webs are an essential part of terrestrial ecosystem functioning and characterised by a high degree of cross linkage between the members of a highly diverse soil community. Centipedes are abundant predators in the ... -
Phylogeography in sexual and parthenogenetic European oribatida
(2011-01-20)Oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) are a species rich group which may form the oldest group of Chelicerata, as indicated by fossils from Devonian sediment (~380 million years) and molecular ... -
Soil animal food webs in temperate forests: effects of forest management on trophic structure as indicated by molecular gut content, stable isotope and fatty acid analyses
(2015-01-19)The soil system comprises a high diversity of coexisting species interacting in close association. Generally, soil animals are assumed to be trophic generalists feeding on resources of even different trophic levels. The ... -
Structure of and carbon flux through soil food webs of temperate grassland as affected by land use management
(2014-11-06)In Europe grasslands are among the most important agricultural systems. They are subject to continuous management intensification, which is potentially threatening ecosystem services. Since soil comprises the largest ... -
The nematode-based food-chain of a temperate deciduous forest
(2013-05-13)Soils are complex and heterogeneous habitats for soil animals. Trophic interactions between soil animals are depicted in soil food webs which form an essential component of terrestrial ecosystems. Soil food webs are based ... -
Tree species as determinants of the structure of oribatid mite communities (Oribatida) and the incorporation of plant carbon and nitrogen in the soil animal food web
(2013-08-23)In this dissertation I investigated the role of tree species for the structure and functioning of soil animal food webs in temperate forests. In the field, the role of tree species diversity as compared to tree species ...
