Abstract Environment, litter composition and decomposer community are known to be the main drivers of decomposition in aquatic ecosystems. However, it remains unclear whether quality or functional diversity prevails under warming conditions. Using tank bromeliad ecosystems, we evaluated combined effects warming, on process. We also assessed contribution macroinvertebrates microorganisms explaining patterns using bags made with different mesh sizes. Our results showed that was driven by...
Abstract Animals may host diverse bacterial communities that can markedly affect their behavioral physiology, ecology, and vulnerability to disease. Fungus-farming ants represent a classical example of mutualism depends on symbiotic microorganisms. Unraveling the associated with fungus-farming is essential understand role these microorganisms in ant-fungus symbiosis. The community structure five species fungus-farmers (non-leaf-cutters; genera Mycocepurus , Mycetarotes Mycetophylax...
The host-associated microbiome is vital to host immunity and pathogen defense. In aquatic ecosystems, organisms may interact with environmental bacteria influence the pool of potential symbionts, but effects these interactions on assembly resistance are unresolved. We used replicated bromeliad microecosystems test for indirect arthropod-bacteria burden, using tadpoles fungal amphibian Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis as a model host-pathogen system. Arthropods influenced by altering bacteria,...
Abstract Leaf litter fuels secondary production in many aquatic ecosystems. Although the identity and species richness of leaf have been shown to influence ecosystem functioning food‐web composition, it has challenging relate such patterns mechanisms based on traits. Here, we investigate how six different species, their mixture, affect decomposition, as well colonisation survival associated invertebrates natural microecosystems (tank bromeliads). We then ask whether these effects composition...
1. A key challenge in the study of mutualistic interactions is understanding sources variation that strengthen or weaken these interactions. In spider–plant mutualisms, spiders benefit plants by improving plant nutrition and protecting from herbivory. Although benefits to spider growth survival are often claimed, they rarely demonstrated. 2. this study, empirical evidence provided bromeliads ( Bromelia balansae , Bromeliaceae) essential for resilience bromeliad‐living jumping populations...
Schizomida is an arachnid order widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, commonly found humid warm environments such as leaf litter, on the underside of rocks, caves. Stenochrus portoricensis has been observed association with termite ant nests. In this study, we report for first time S. living within a nest fire Solenopsis saevissima. This new interaction triggers interest mechanisms used by schizomid to deceive be undetected ants, well potential advantages
Habitats mais complexos promovem micro-habitats, permitindo aos organismos associados explorar os recursos por diferentes maneiras, aumentando a abundância e diversidade de espécies.Em bromélias-tanque, complexidade do habitat pode ser avaliada características como número folhas da bromélia (nº tanques), volume água biomassa detritos acumulados nos tanques.Neste trabalho investigamos (avaliada pelas variáveis citadas acima) influencia grupos funcionais insetos aquáticos em...
