Soil spatial heterogeneity is a major determinant of biological diversity and functions. Among
soil biota, nematodes are considered as excellent models for understanding spatial soil …

Climate change is strongly affecting high‐mountain soils and warming in particular is
associated with pronounced changes in microbe‐mediated C and N cycling, affecting plant …

Below‐ground nematodes are important for soil functioning, as they are ubiquitous and
operate at various trophic levels in the soil food web. However, morphological nematode …

Soil micro-food web, as a part of the detritus food webs, directly or indirectly participates in
nutrient cycling by feeding on substrate and microorganisms and consequently influences …

Current climate change has led to latitudinal and altitudinal range expansions of numerous
species. During such range expansions, plant species are expected to experience changes …

Nematodes are keystone actors of soil, freshwater and marine ecosystems, but the
complexity of morphological identification has limited broad-scale monitoring of nematode …

Climate warming is a key factor driving species range shifts. While previous work has
focused on shifts of aboveground plant communities, changes in climate and vegetation …

Beyond being robust experimental model organisms, Caenorhabditis elegans and its
relatives are also real animals that live in nature. Studies of wild nematodes in their natural …

Precision and reliability of barcode-based biodiversity assessment can be affected at
several steps during acquisition and analysis of data. Identification of operational taxonomic …

Understanding biodiversity and biogeographic distribution of soil fauna is an important topic
in ecology. While nematode communities have been compared among ecosystems …
