Soil organisms, including earthworms, are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about their diversity, distribution, and the threats affecting them. We compiled global dataset sampled earthworm communities from 6928 sites in 57 countries as basis for predicting patterns abundance, biomass. found that local species richness abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying opposite to those observed aboveground organisms. high dissimilarity across...
Abstract Studies have reported widespread declines in terrestrial insect abundances recent years 1–4 , but trends other biodiversity metrics are less clear-cut 5–7 . Here we examined long-term 923 assemblages monitored 106 studies, and found concomitant abundance species richness. For studies that were resolved to level (551 sites 57 studies), observed a decline the number of initially abundant through time, not very rare species. At population level, most at start time series showed...
A new woodlouse species, Desertoniscus zaitsevi sp. nov., is described from Kalmykia, Cis-Caspian region of Russia. The diagnostic features the as well its affinities within genus are provided and discussed. species northwesternmost in Eurasia, expanding known distribution this into Europe.
Abstract Increasing extreme climatic events threaten the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems 1,2 . Because soil microbes govern key biogeochemical processes, understanding their response to climate extremes is crucial in predicting consequences for ecosystem 3,4 Here we subjected soils from 30 grasslands across Europe four contrasting under common controlled conditions (drought, flood, freezing and heat), compared microbial communities with those undisturbed soils. Soil microbiomes...
Abstract Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial functions and services. Little is known about their diversity distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability considerable amounts local-scale data. Earthworm data, obtained from primary literature or provided directly by authors, were collated with information on site locations, including coordinates, habitat cover, properties. Datasets required, minimum, to include...
Changes in the abundances of animals, such as with ongoing concern about insect declines, are often assumed to be general across taxa. However, this assumption is largely untested. Here, we used a database assemblage-wide long-term and arachnid monitoring compare abundance trends among co-occurring pairs We show that 60% taxa qualitatively showed same direction-either both increasing or decreasing. terms magnitude, temporal were only weakly correlated (mean freshwater
Abstract We tested for fire‐induced (5–6 years post‐fire) changes in the structure and functioning of soil food web along a 3000‐km north–south transect across European Russia, spanning all major forest types northern hemisphere outside tropics. The total biomass detrital web, including microbes invertebrates, was not affected by fire. However, fire reduced microfauna mites, but had no impact on mesofauna or macrofauna. Fire also rates carbon (C) mobilisation biota. Our results demonstrate...
From 2001 to 2022, the woodlice fauna of Abrau Peninsula, north-west Caucasus, Russia was examined. The collections yielded 5,581 specimens, which belong 25 species, 19 genera, and 15 families. most diverse families are Cylisticidae, Platyarthridae, Trachelipodidae, Trichoniscidae, each with three species. genera Platyarthrus Trachelipus . Five species have been noticed Russian for first time: Tylos europaeus , Acaeroplastes melanurus caudatus Buddelundiella cataractae Armadillidium cf....
Enchytraeids, commonly known as potworms, are small oligochaetes found worldwide in various terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Despite their crucial role ecosystem functioning, the diversity abundance of Enchytraeidae seldom studied due to labour-intensive process species identification. This study aims address this gap expand knowledge on distribution enchytraeids within Northern Palaearctic Region. The provided dataset represents latest most comprehensive field sampling...
Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is used widely for reconstructing trophic links of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Soil macrofauna form a substantial food source range predators including amphibians, reptiles, birds mammals. SIA-based estimations their niches require knowledge on the full isotopic signatures potential preys. Considering extremely high diversity soil animals, this information not easy to obtain.We estimated typical by compiling published original data macroinvertebrates in...
Abstract Insects are the most ubiquitous and diverse group of eukaryotic organisms on Earth, forming a crucial link in terrestrial freshwater food webs. They have recently become subject headlines because observations dramatic declines some places. Although there hundreds long‐term insect monitoring programs, global database for data assemblages has so far remained unavailable. In order to facilitate synthetic analyses abundance changes, we compiled (≥10 yr) studies insects (many also...
