Effects of agri-environmental measures in intensively managed farmland on the soil seed bank, butterflies and carabid beetles in Germany - Influence of local conditions and surrounding landscape on biodiversity
(2023-09-26)Monitoring of the soil seed bank, butterflies, and carabid beetles, representing different trophic groups, provides an insight into the broader effects of agri-environmental measures in intensively used arable landscapes. ... -
Fatty acid patterns of soil decomposers and predators as affected by plant species richness
(2018-05-24)Relationships between organisms in the soil are very important to control the equilibrium of an ecosystem. Many factors and conditions play a crucial role for the development and functioning of decomposers and predators, ... -
Oribatid mite community structure and trophic ecology along a forest land-use gradient: effect of dead wood, time and root-trenching
(2016-10-26)Oribatid mites are involved in decomposition processes, formation of soil structure and nutrient cycling in most soils worldwide. The main habitats of oribatid mites are litter and soil but they also occur numerously on ... -
Land-use impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of complex multitrophic communities
(2016-02-24)Global biodiversity is rapidly declining, resulting in far-reaching impacts on the functioning of ecosystems and human wellbeing. In recent decades, anthropogenic land use has been identified as a major driver of biodiversity ... -
Social organisation of the narrow-striped mongoose (Mungotictis decemlineata) in Kirindy Forest C.N.F.E.R.E.F., Madagascar
(2016-02-16)The diversity of ecological and behavioural adaptations of the Carnivora makes them an exemplary group for studying patterns of mammalian social evolution. In particular, species displaying sex-specific forms of social ... -
Trophic interactions of ants, birds and bats affecting crop yield along shade gradients in tropical agroforestry
(2015-12-09)Tropical agroforests are diverse systems where several predator groups shape animal communities and plant-arthropod interactions. Ants, birds and bats in particular can reduce herbivores and thereby increase crop yield. ... -
Transposable elements in sexual and asexual animals
(2015-01-15)The prevalence of sexual reproduction among eukaryotes despite its marked disadvantages is one of the most elusive problems in evolutionary biology. The observation that most asexual eukaryotes are recent offshoots scattered ... -
Allometric structure and topology of food webs: Energetic constraints conserve food-web structure across ecosystems and space
(2014-07-23)Natural ecosystems comprise an innumerable amount of different organisms. These organisms are not separated, they interact and depend on each other. Today’s ecosystems are facing an enormous decline in biodiversity due to ... -
Der Rotmilan (Milvus milvus) im Unteren Eichsfeld.
(2013-11-19)In the present study were examined population density, habitat use and composition, young bird rearing, food and predation on Red Kite (Milvus milvus). Essential questions were how stable is the stock in the area and what ...
