Bruckner A, Schuster R, Wehner K, Heethoff M
Front Zool . 2018 Dec; 15:50. PMID: 30534185
Background: Trait based functional and community ecology is . Most studies, however, ignore phenotypical diversity by characterizing entire species considering only trait means rather than their variability. Phenotypical variability may...

Rosumek F, Bluthgen N, Bruckner A, Menzel F, Gebauer G, Heethoff M
PeerJ . 2018 Aug; 6:e5467. PMID: 30155364
Background: The use and partitioning of trophic resources is a central aspect of community function. On the ground of tropical forests, dozens of ant species may be found together and...

PeerJ . 2018 Jun; 6:e4863. PMID: 29888124
Oribatid mites are abundant and diverse decomposers in almost all terrestrial microhabitats, especially in temperate forests. Although their functional importance in the decomposition system in these forests has been investigated,...

Strobel B, Schmelzle S, Bluthgen N, Heethoff M
Zookeys . 2018 Jun; (759):1-27. PMID: 29853774
Digitization of natural history collections is a major challenge in archiving biodiversity. In recent years, several approaches have emerged, allowing either automated digitization, extended depth of field (EDOF) or multi-view...

Pedobiologia (Jena) . 2017 Nov; 63:1-7. PMID: 29129942
The ecological interactions that occur in and with soil are of consequence in many ecosystems on the planet. These interactions provide numerous essential ecosystem services, and the sustainable management of...

Frank K, Bruckner A, Hilpert A, Heethoff M, Bluthgen N
Sci Rep . 2017 Sep; 7(1):12141. PMID: 28939910
At the basis of a trophic web, coprophagous animals like dung beetles (Scarabaeoidea) utilize resources that may have advantages (easy gain and handling) as well as drawbacks (formerly processed food)....

Rosumek F, Bruckner A, Bluthgen N, Menzel F, Heethoff M
Front Zool . 2017 Jul; 14:36. PMID: 28717381
Background: Trophic interactions are a fundamental aspect of ecosystem functioning, but often difficult to observe directly. Several indirect techniques, such as fatty acid analysis, were developed to assess these interactions....

PLoS One . 2017 Apr; 12(4):e0175001. PMID: 28384308
Long-chain cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are common components of the epicuticle of terrestrial arthropods. CHC serve as a protective barrier against environmental influences but also act as semiochemicals in animal communication....
