Pan X, Heimburger B, Chen T, Lu J, Cordes P, Xie Z, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2025 Mar; 15(3):e71046. PMID: 40027424
Understanding ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that drive biodiversity patterns is important for comprehending biodiversity. Despite being critically important to the functioning of ecosystems, the mechanisms driving belowground biodiversity are little...

Zhong L, Larsen T, Lu J, Scheu S, Pollierer M
Ecology . 2025 Feb; 106(2):e70004. PMID: 39988993
Detritus-based resources, that is, plant litter, are a major energy source for many living organisms and are considered to be a key determinant of primary production and nutrient cycling. Earthworms...

Amyntas A, Gauzens B, Ciobanu M, Warnke L, Maraun M, Salamon J, et al.
J Anim Ecol . 2025 Jan; PMID: 39887967
The relationship of plant diversity and several ecosystem functions strengthens over time. This suggests that the restructuring of biotic interactions in the process of a community's assembly and the associated...

Xu X, Wang X, Sun T, Liu S, Dong M, Yue Y, et al.
Adv Sci (Weinh) . 2025 Jan; :e2413227. PMID: 39887670
Trophic interactions in micro-food webs, such as those between nematodes and their bacterial prey, affect nitrogen cycling in soils, potentially changing nitrous oxide (NO) production and consumption. However, how nematode-mediated...

Chao H, Zhong L, Schaefer I, Sun M, Junggebauer A, Hu F, et al.
ISME Commun . 2025 Jan; 5(1):ycae171. PMID: 39882509
Earthworms are keystone animals stimulating litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. However, earthworms comprise diverse species which live in different soil layers and consume different types of food. Microorganisms in the...

Ehlers J, Hartke T, Janotta N, Mawan A, Nazarreta R, Desriana R, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2024 Dec; 14(12):e70694. PMID: 39717641
The conversion of tropical rainforests to agriculture causes population declines and biodiversity loss across taxa. This impacts ants (Formicidae), a crucial tropical group for ecosystem functioning. While biodiversity loss among...

Amyntas A, Eisenhauer N, Scheu S, Klarner B, Ilieva-Makulec K, Madaj A, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Nov; 15(1):10029. PMID: 39562617
Biodiversity experiments revealed that plant diversity loss can decrease ecosystem functions across trophic levels. To address why such biodiversity-function relationships strengthen over time, we established experimental mesocosms replicating a gradient...

Topanotti L, Fuchs J, Albert M, Schick J, Penanhoat A, Lu J, et al.
Sci Adv . 2024 Oct; 10(43):eadp6566. PMID: 39441929
Enriching tree species-poor and less productive forests by introducing economically valuable species is a strategy proposed for achieving multipurpose forest management. However, empirical evidence from managed and mature forests on...

Wenglein R, Lu J, Scheu S
Ecol Evol . 2024 Sep; 14(9):e70311. PMID: 39301294
The ongoing climate change calls for managing forest ecosystems in temperate regions toward more drought-resistant and climate-resilient stands. Yet ecological consequences of management options such as planting non-native tree species...

Mollerke A, Stell M, Schlawis C, Trauer-Kizilelma U, Herrmann J, Leinaas H, et al.
Chem Sci . 2024 Sep; PMID: 39246360
Springtails (Collembola) are important members of the soil mesofauna. They are small, often less than 1-2 mm in length. A typical escape response of most surface-living species is to jump,...
