Observational natural history and morphological taxonomy are indispensable for future challenges in biodiversity and conservation
Abstract:
Global biodiversity is rapidly declining, leading inevitably to a loss of ecosystem functionality when species and their associated life-history traits vanish. Unfortunately, even in the 21st century, a large proportion of Earth’s species are yet ...

Tree species richness strengthens relationships between ants and the functional composition of spider assemblages in a highly diverse forest
Abstract:
In species-rich ecosystems such as (sub)tropical forests, higher trophic level interactions often play key functional roles. Plant species loss may alter these interactions, but particularly among predators intraguild interactions might modify net...

Tree species and functional traits but not species richness affect interrill erosion processes in young subtropical forests
Abstract:
Soil erosion is seriously threatening ecosystem functioning in many parts of the world. In this context, it is assumed that tree species richness and functional diversity of tree communities can play a critical role in improving ecosystem services...

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...

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...

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...
