On alpine pastureland the decline in large-bodied earthworm numbers and biomass after abandonment of management might be result a shift from highly palatable grass litter to poorly digestible leaf dwarf shrubs. To test this hypothesis, we analysed nitrogen, phosphorous total phenolic contents fresh aged eight commonly occuring plant species compared consumption rates these food sources controlled feeding experiment with Lumbricus rubellus (Lumbricidae). Furthermore, microbial community...
Soil macro-invertebrates play an important role in the formation and functioning of soils, which makes them indispensable for all terrestrial ecosystems, including high alpine soils. However, latter, knowledge on species identity, diversity, functionality macro-invertebrate soil communities is scarce. Here, we address this gap by investigating structural functional composition sites European Alps that differ sheep grazing intensity (low, medium, high). Abundance data were combined with...
In glacier forelands spiders constitute a large proportion of the invertebrate community. Therefore, it is important to be able determine species that can found in these areas. Linyphiid and theridiid spider identification currently not possible juvenile specimens using traditional morphological based methods, however, population areas are usually juveniles. Molecular methods permit at different life stages, making possible. this study we tested molecular tool identify 10 most common...
We tested whether experimental summer drought affects the transfer of recently photosynthesized carbon from plants to soil mesofauna in a subalpine meadow. From day one after (13)CO(2) pulse-labelling plant canopy, roots, collembolans and mites were enriched δ(13)C control, but not plots. However, as difference between roots animals was affected by treatment, we conclude that tight linkage photosynthesis primarily via functional responses rather than changes mesofauna.
We studied abundance, diversity, and composition of soil invertebrates along snowmelt gradients to generally understand how animal communities are responding life conditions across snowbeds a west–east transect the European Alps create reference inventory for future investigations climate change effects on snowbed habitats. extracted microarthropods (collembolans, oribatid mites) macroinvertebrates (spiders, beetles, insect larvae) from cores taken three sections gradient: high (early...
This article documents the public availability of (i) microbiomes in diet and gut larvae from dipteran Dilophus febrilis using massive parallel sequencing, (ii) SNP SSR discovery characterization transcriptome Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus, L) (iii) assembled for an endangered, endemic Iberian cyprinid fish (Squalius pyrenaicus).
From 2016 to 2018, four males of Saitis tauricus Kulczyński, 1905 were recorded in the northernmost province Italy, Bozen – South Tyrol. These findings made by chance urban areas capital city Bozen/Bolzano and Meran/Merano, represent first this species for Tyrol Italy. No females so far. Photos habitus pedipalps are given. We assume that specimens could have been imported several times from Balkan countries such as Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia Turkey, or Hungary. They may formed a short-time...
