Trophic niche differentiation in soil microarthropods (Oribatida, Acari): evidence from stable isotope ratios (15N/14N) (2004, background): “in litter and soil of a southern Appalachian hardwood forest 170 species coexist (Hansen, 2000).”
Effects of exotic conifer plantations on the biodiversity of understory plants, epigeal beetles and birds in Nothofagus dombeyi forests (2008, methodology): “Because a decrease in habitat heterogeneity has been invoked as an important contributing cause of biodiversity loss in woody biomes (Freemark and Merriam, 1986; Hansen, 2000), we also characterized the structure of each study site.”
Microscale distribution patterns in high Arctic soil microarthropod communities: the influence of plant species within the vegetation mosaic (2003, background): “Litter type may thus strongly influence microarthropod community structure (Hansen 2000).”
From peds to paradoxes: linkages between soil biota and their influences on ecological processes. (2008, background): “Thus enhanced habitat complexity and diversity of available food resources will support localized ‘‘hot spots’’ of more diverse mite communities, as noted in Section 4.2 above (Hansen, 2000a, b; Bardgett et al., 2005).”
Humus forms in terrestrial ecosystems: a framework to biodiversity (2003, background): “The coexistence of a number of different organisms creates more heterogeneity, thus it creates in turn conditions for the maintenance of a high variety of organisms (Hansen, 2000; Hooper et al., 2000).”
Feeding preferences among dark pigmented fungal taxa (''Dematiacea'') indicate limited trophic niche differentiation of oribatid mites (Oribatida, Acari) (2005, background): “in the litter layer, the humus layer, in dead wood, in moss and in the bark of trees, and this contributes to the high diversity of oribatid mites (Aoki, 1967; Hammer, 1972; Wunderle, 1992; Hansen, 2000).”
Interspecific Pollen Transfer: Magnitude, Prevalence and Consequences for Plant Fitness (2008, methodology): “, 2006 ), but provided the input data (ie, the abundance or visitation frequency of each flower visitor to each plant species), we estimated PS values following Hansen (2000) .”
No ‘home’ versus ‘away’ effects of decomposition found in a grassland–forest reciprocal litter transplant study (2011, background): “Presumably, stimulation is a consequence of litter trait complementarity: high quality substrates may provide fuel to assist the decomposition of more recalcitrant litter, while the latter may provide greater structure or refuges and therefore access for a greater abundance or diversity of decompose”
Soil feedbacks of plant diversity on soil microbial communities and subsequent plant growth (2005, background): “High plant diversity may lead to high litter diversity, which in turn supports a greater diversity of decomposers and detritivores (Sulkava and Huhta, 1998; Hansen, 2000).”
