Herbivores alter plant biodiversity (species richness) in many of the world’s ecosystems, but
the magnitude and the direction of herbivore effects on biodiversity vary widely within and …

Tracking devices have become small enough to be widely applied to arthropods to study their
movement. However, possible side effects of these devices on arthropod performance and …

In recent years, there has been an increase in research to understand how global changes’
impacts on soil biota translate into altered ecosystem functioning. However, results vary …

Species assemblages of naturally disturbed habitats are governed by the prevailing disturbance
regime. Consequently, stochastic flood events affect river banks and the inhabiting biota…

Amplified climate change in polar regions is significantly altering regional ecosystems, yet
there are few long-term records documenting these responses. The McMurdo Dry Valleys (…

Nature-based solutions to mitigate the impact of future climate change depend on restoring
biological diversity and natural processes. Coastal foredunes represent the most important …

… We removed the native litter layer from within the collars and applied 4 ml of glyphosate (Roundup
® ) to deter plant growth within the collars. In the laboratory we determined the native …

River banks are naturally disturbed habitats, in which local flood events and the landscape
structure are expected to govern riparian species assemblages. Not solely effects of flooding …

… Within each cylinder we placed a 100 ml plastic vial with outer diameter 6.70 cm and on top
of the cylinder we placed a plastic funnel to guide the invertebrates into the vials. Each trap …

Forest fragments in highly disturbed landscapes provide important ecosystem services
ranging from acting as biodiversity reservoir to providing timber or regulating hydrology. …
