Warming and leaf litter functional diversity, not litter quality, drive decomposition in a freshwater ecosystem
(Nature Research, 2020-11-23)
Environment, litter composition and decomposer community are known to be the main drivers of litter decomposition in aquatic ecosystems. However, it remains unclear whether litter quality or functional diversity prevails ...
Litter decomposition by soil fauna: effect of land use in agroecosystems
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Soil fauna plays a key role in organic matter decomposition. Litter decomposition depends on the relationships of soil fauna and microorganisms as well as climate and litter quality. The decomposer community is sensitive ...
Are corridors, fragment size and forest structure important for the conservation of leaf-litter lizards in a fragmented landscape?
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2009)
To investigate the implications of forest fragmentation for conservation of leaf-litter lizards the importance of fragment size, corridors and forest structure was examined in 20 forest fragments and six localities within ...
Environmental rugosity, body size and access to food: a test of the size-grain hypothesis in tropical litter ants
(2004)
In terrestrial walking organisms, long legs help to decrease the cost of running, allowing animals to step over environmental interstices rather than walking through them. However, long legs can complicate the infiltration ...
Selection in guinea pigs: I. Estimation of phenotypic and genetic parameters for litter size and body weight get access arrow
(American Society of Animal ScienceUS, 1983-04-01)
Data on 202 sires, 718 dams and 3,192 progeny from a selection experiment were used to estimate phenotypic and genetic parameters for litter size and body weight in guinea pigs. Effects of sex and parity were estimated. ...
Is litter decomposition influenced by forest size and invertebrate detritivores during the dry season in semiarid Chaco Serrano?
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
Forest loss can affect ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition. In semi-arid areas, where forest loss is increasing, soil fauna can play a particularly important role on litter decomposition. However, few studies ...
