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...

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...

Tree species traits but not diversity mitigate stem breakage in a subtropical forest following a rare and extreme ice storm
Abstract:
Future climates are likely to include extreme events, which in turn have great impacts on ecological systems. In this study, we investigated possible effects that could mitigate stem breakage caused by a rare and extreme ice storm in a Chinese sub...

Tree species, tree genotypes and tree genotypic diversity levels affect microbe-mediated soil ecosystem functions in a subtropical forest
Abstract:
Tree species identity and tree genotypes contribute to the shaping of soil microbial communities. However, knowledge about how these two factors influence soil ecosystem functions is still lacking. Furthermore, in forest ecosystems tree genotypes ...

Effect of clear-cutting silviculture on soil respiration in a subtropical forest of China
Abstract:
Aims
Clear-cutting is a common forest management practice, especially in subtropical China. However, the potential ecological consequences of clear-cutting remain unclear. In particular, the effect of clear-cutting on soil processes, such as the ...

Opposing intra vs. interspecific diversity effects on herbivory and growth in subtropical experimental tree assemblages
Abstract:
Aims:
Positive plant diversity-ecosystem function relations are ultimately driven by variation in functional traits among individuals that form a community. To date, research has largely focused on the role of species diversity for ecosystem fun...
