From peds to paradoxes: linkages between soil biota and their influences on ecological processes. (2008, background): “…of litter decomposing fungi were offered to 10 oribatid species, a wide range of responses, some narrow, and others wide in species consumed, led Schneider and Maraun (2005) to suggest that although trophic niche differentiation in oribatids was limited it may contribute to the high diversity…”
Feeding biology of oribatid mites : a minireview (2004, background): “It still is not clear if soil living animals are specialist or generalist feeders (Schneider and Maraun, 2005).”
The Berger–Parker index as an effective tool for monitoring the biodiversity of disturbed soils: a case study on Mediterranean oribatid (Acari: Oribatida) assemblages (2007, unknown): “…on different species have yielded contrasting results: choice experiments on the selection of fungi reveal limited trophic differentiation (Schneider and Maraun 2005), but analyses based on stable isotope ratios (15N/14N) indicate different trophic niches among different species…”
