The influence of leaf litter diversity and soil fauna on initial soil erosion in subtropical forests
Abstract:
Soil erosion is one of the main environmental problems, especially in subtropical regions with monsoon climate. Afforestation is suggested to be an ecological solution for the loss of soil. Litter cover plays a major role in soil erosion processes...

A Unique Nest-Protection Strategy in a New Species of Spider Wasp
Abstract:
Hymenoptera show a great variation in reproductive potential and nesting behavior, from thousands of eggs in sawflies to just a dozen in nest-provisioning wasps. Reduction in reproductive potential in evolutionary derived Hymenoptera is often faci...

Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest
Abstract:
Losses of plant species diversity can affect ecosystem functioning, with decreased primary productivity being the most frequently reported effect in experimental plant assemblages, including tree plantations. Less is known about the role of biodiv...

Ant community structure during forest succession in a subtropical forest in South-East China
Abstract:
Understanding how communities respond to environmental gradients is critical to predict responses of species to changing habitat conditions such as in regenerating secondary habitats after human land use. In this study, ground-living ants were sam...

Woody plant phylogenetic diversity mediates bottom-up control of arthropod biomass in a species-rich forest
Abstract:
Effects of global change are predicted to cause non-random species loss in plant communities, with important consequences for ecosystem functioning. However, little is known about how plant diversity and the loss of this diversity influence the st...

A new species of the Aenictus wroughtonii group (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from South-East China
Abstract:
A new species of army ant from the Aenictus wroughtonii group is described and illustrated based on the worker caste. Aenictus gutianshanensis Staab sp. n. is distributed in the subtropical forests of South-East China, and is probably most closely...
