Results of the terrain and landform analysis on site B (EcoScape approach)

Vegetation foraging ants feed to a considerable part on liquid plant exudates or on Hemipteran honeydew. Those liquids contain mainly sugars and amino acids (AA), which are attractive for the ants. We conducted a choice experiment using different ...

Leaf decomposition plays an important role in ecosystem biogeochemistry. Nutrients are released from decomposing litter by leaching of soluble substances and the break-down by animals, microbes and fungi, and will thus become again available for u...

Trophobiosis are common tri-trophic trophic interaction between plants, sap-sucking insects and ants. While sap-sucking insects directly exploit plants in a cryptic form of herbivory, the ants establish a mutualistic relationship with the sap-suck...
