Effects of Climate Change vs. Grazing Exclusion on Species Diversity Over 18 Years Along an Elevation Gradient in the European Alps

Autor: Rüdiger Kaufmann, Roland Mayer, Nikolaus Schallhart, Brigitta Erschbamer

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Vol 9 (2021)

Climate change was already shown to increase species numbers in high elevations. In contrast, grazing might interfere with climate change effects. To disentangle both the effects remains a major challenge of alpine ecology. The present study investig

Soil microbial communities regulate global biogeochemical cycles and respond rapidly to changing environmental conditions. However, understanding how soil microbial communities respond to climate change, and how this influences biogeochemical cycles,

Plant roots represent an important food source for soil-dwelling animals, but tracking herbivore food choices below-ground is difficult. Here, we present an optimized PCR assay for the detection of plant DNA in the guts of invertebrates, using genera

Detecting ingested plant DNA in soil-living insect larvae

Publikováno v: Soil Biology & Biochemistry

Although a significant proportion of plant tissue is located in roots and other below-ground parts of plants, little is known on the dietary choices of root-feeding insects. This is caused by a lack of adequate methodology which would allow tracking

The feeding ecology of elaterid larvae in central European arable land: New perspectives based on naturally occurring stable isotopes

Autor: Rüdiger Kaufmann, Michael Traugott, Nikolaus Schallhart, Anita Juen

Publikováno v: Soil Biology and Biochemistry. 40:342-349

To understand soil food webs, empirically generated data on the trophic connections and the feeding ecology of the major below-ground animal taxa are needed. Here we used stable isotope analysis to assess the trophic ecology of wireworms, the larvae
