Body size is a better predictor of intra- than interspecific variation of animal stoichiometry across realms

The paper analyzes animal stoichiometry across species and body sizes, finding body size better predicts intraspecific than interspecific variation in elemental content.

Global monitoring of soil animal communities using a common methodology

The paper introduces a global collaborative network to standardize soil animal community monitoring and food web analysis across diverse ecosystems.

Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails

The paper estimates global springtail biomass and density, finding similar energy use across latitudes but mismatch between diversity and density.

Multifunctionality of belowground food webs: resource, size and spatial energy channels

This paper develops a multichannel food-web reconstruction approach to assess trophic multifunctionality in soil ecosystems by integrating resource, size, and spatial energy channels.

Multidimensional trophic niche revealed by complementary approaches: gut content, digestive enzymes, fatty acids and stable isotopes in soil fauna

The paper uses four complementary methods to analyze the multidimensional trophic niche of soil springtails, revealing that different methods capture distinct feeding dimensions and that bacterial feeding may be more common than previously thought.
