Trait matching and phylogeny as predictors of predator–prey interactions involving ground beetles (2018, background): “…of the resource was the best predictor with ground beetles, but we expect it to be generalizable to other predators (Verwaijen, Van Damme & Herrel 2002), granivores (Abbott, Abbott & Grant 1975; Lundgren & Rosentrater 2007), herbivores (Ibanez et al. 2013) and potentially detritivores (David 2014).”
Herbivore dung as food for dung beetles: elementary coprology for entomologists (2016, background): “However, recent evidence has not supported this hypothesis in general (David, 2014), nor has it ever been proved in relation to dung beetle larvae (c.f. Byrne et al., 2013).”
Beyond microbes: Are fauna the next frontier in soil biogeochemical models? (2016, background): “However, recent evidence suggests that these fauna-driven processes may have less direct impact on soil microbial communities than previously assumed (Coulis et al., 2013; David, 2014).”
The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls (2017, background): “…fauna, and their interactions exert strong controls on the rates, pathways, and fates of plant litter decay (Beare et al. 1992, Cárcamo et al. 2000, David 2014), both through direct consumption and transformation of plant detritus and through shredding and fragmentation, which provide increased…”
