Bottom–up or top–down control in forest soil microcosms? Effects of soil fauna on fungal biomass and C/N mineralisation (2006, background): “Soil animals are quite flexible in their diet, and some species might belong to several trophic levels (Scheu 2002).”
Carbon fluxes in soil food webs of increasing complexity revealed by 14C labelling and 13C natural abundance (2006, background): “07%), and the radioactive (14)C (10 (8)%) are ideal for studying the three carbon channels in soil food webs (Scheu, 2002).”
Effects of agricultural management on nematode–mite assemblages: Soil food web indices as predictors of mite community composition (2009, background): “Soil food webs are complex assemblages of organisms; they have received much attention from terrestrial ecologists (Scheu, 2002; Hedlund et al., 2004; van der Putten et al., 2004).”
Single and mixed diets in Collembola: effects on reproduction and stable isotope fractionation (2004, background): “Differences in N signatures in fungal feeding taxa therefore may reflect feeding guilds rather than the trophic structure of the community as previously hypothesized (Scheu 2002).”
Feeding biology of oribatid mites : a minireview (2004, background): “…radiations after colonization events, the Contribution of the 5th EURAAC - Symposium, Berlin 2004. heterogeneity of the habitat, strong biotic interactions and niche differentiation appear to lack in the soil animal community or seem to be of minor importance (Scheu, 2002; Scheu and Setälä, 2002).”
Trophic niche differentiation in soil microarthropods (Oribatida, Acari): evidence from stable isotope ratios (15N/14N) (2004, background): “dN values of decomposer animals may reflect feeding guilds rather than trophic groups (Scheu, 2002).”
Predator–prey interaction in soil food web: functional response, size-dependent foraging efficiency, and the influence of soil texture (2005, background): “To construct a complete food web and to predict ecosystem processes, it is essential to learn both the types of interactions between food-web components (Bengtsson et al. 1995; Wardle 1995) and their strength ( Scheu 2002 ).”
The fat that matters: Soil food web analysis using fatty acids and their carbon stable isotope signature (2010, background): “Most of the soil fauna appear to be generalist feeders, with frequent diet switches related to food availability, but actual resource utilisation remains obscure (Scheu, 2002).”
The values of soil animals for conservation biology (2006, background): “fluorescence in situ hybridisation, natural variations in stable isotope contents in animal tissues) have recently given this discipline new and highly relevant perspectives (see review by [113]).”
Dual stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N) of soil invertebrates and their food sources (2004, background): “More recently, researches (Ponsard and Arditi, 2000; Scheu and Falca, 2000; Albers, 2002) and debates (Eggers and Jones, 2000; Ponsard and Arditi, 2001; Scheu, 2002) have focused on the application of stable isotope techniques to soil food web studies, in particular the use of dN to infer trophic le”
Feeding guilds in Collembola based on nitrogen stable isotope ratios (2005, background): “Depending on the resources available, they ingest bacteria, fungi, algae, plant litter, or other soil animals, such as protozoa, nematodes, rotifers, and enchytraeids (Parkinson, 1988; Rusek, 1998; Scheu, 2002).”
