“…The effectiveness of pitfall trapping for the capture of epigaeic fauna has been widely discussed (Luff, 1975; de Oliveira et al., 2019; Privet et al., 2020; Saska et al., 2013; Southwood, 1978; Topping & Sunderland, 1992). For example, the effectiveness of pitfall trapping was evaluated by capturing all individuals in a specific area by Adis (1979) and Petruška (1969).…”

Understanding changes in global biodiversity patterns requires large-scale, long-term monitoring. However, there might be significant constraints in the analysis of long-term and spatially large data, especially when the methodology used differs (Gotelli & Colwell, 2001, 2011. The ability to make meaningful comparisons of the results of studies is severely hampered by great variation in the design of the sampling equipment and how it is used (Brown &

“…Los ciempiés (Chilopoda) que son depredadores y reguladores de poblaciones presentaron mejor adaptación en el gradiente de altitud alto. Al respecto, de Oliveira et al (2019) menciona que los miriápodos (Chilopoda y Diplopoda) se benefician en condiciones de mayor humedad y temperaturas más estables, lo que se confirma para la altitud 1 600-1 900 m.s.n.m. Incluso, los milpiés (Diplopoda) que juegan un papel importante en la dinámica de la materia orgánica por medio de la fragmentación de la hojarasca, solo estuvieron presente en la altitud 1 600-1 900 m.s.n.m.…”

Introducción: La macrofauna del suelo cumple un rol clave en los procesos del suelo, por lo tanto, regula la oferta se servicios ecosistémicos; sin embargo, su nivel de actividad depende en gran parte de las condiciones edafoclimáticas. Objetivo: El presente trabajo evaluó el efecto del gradiente de altitud sobre comunidades de macrofauna del suelo y propiedades edafoclimáticas en zonas cafeteras del Norte del Huila. Métodos: El estudio incluyó 12 lotes de café separados en dos gradientes de altitud: bajo (1 300-1 600 m.s.n.m) y alto (1 600-1 900 m.s.n.m), se recolectó la macrofauna del suelo mediante monolitos (25 x 25 cm a 30 cm de profundidad) y se estudiaron las condiciones edafoclimáticas. Resultados: En total se registró 9 520 individuos m-2 y una riqueza específica de 14 táxones. Las condiciones edafoclimáticas con mayor diferencia estadística entre los gradientes de altitud, fue la temperatura ambiente y humedad relativa con diferencias de 4.9 °C y 10.4 %, respectivamente. Conclusiones: La mayor abundancia de Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Isoptera y Lepidoptera se presentó en sitios más cálidos, es decir a un gradiente de altitud entre 1 300-1 600 m.s.n.m, mientras que Chilopoda y Diplopoda se adaptaron mejor a sitios más fríos en el gradiente altitudinal entre 1 600-1 900 m.s.n.m.

Participation of Rossiulus kessleri (Diplopoda, Julida) in the Formation of Algae Assemblages of Urbanized Territories

Epi- and endozoochory are well explored phenomena that contribute to the distribution patterns of plant seeds, spores or fruits by vertebrates. It is less known how soil algae may be redistributed due to analogous interactions. We describe the participation of saprophage Rossiulus kessleri (Julidae, Diplopoda) in soil algae redistribution. The research was carried out in a park area of a large industrial megacity in the Dnipro steppe region (Ukrainian North Steppe subzone), Dnipro city. Research material was collected according to zoological and algological methods. The leaf litter of tree species (ash maple Acer negundo, Italian poplar Populus deltoides, locust Robinia pseudoacacia, European white elm Ulmus laevis, Norway maple Acer platanoides) and living diplopods were collected within 1 m2 quadrats along transects. Millipedes were maintained without feeding for five days, after which they were fed with the litter collected previously. Identification of algoflora was conducted in washes from the surface of diplopods’ bodies, its gut washes, in diplopods’ excretions and leaf litter washes. In the leaf litter, as R. kessleri’s feeding base, 14 soil algae species were identified—Nostoc punctiforme, Bracteacoccus minor, Mychonastes homosphaera, Neospongiococcum sp., Chlamydomonas sp., Chlorella vulgaris, Stichococcus bacillaris, Pseudococcomyxa simplex, Desmococcus olivaceus, Trebouxia spp., Klebsormidium flaccidum, Nephrodiella phaseolus, Navicula pelliculosa and Vischeria magna. In body surface washes, five soil algae species were identified, in gut washes seven algae species were found, while in excretions, just four were observed. It was established that not all algae species from the gut washes of R. kessleri were present in excretions. The presence of some representatives of soil algae, for example, Chlorella vulgaris and Vischeria magna, in natural park litter, body surface washes, gut washes and in excretions of R. kessleri, suggests that the given species pass through the diplopod’s gut and stay undamaged. This indicates that soil saprophage R. kessleri contributes to the dispersal of some soil algae representatives through epi- and endozoochory. Our results represent novel contributions to the knowledge of zoochory. It was shown that animals can be involved in dispersal of not only plant parts but also entire organisms, although it is unknown at what scale diplopods contribute to the diversity and dispersal of algae.
