TROPHIC DIFFERENTIATION OF DIPLOPODA IN TEMPERATE AND TROPICAL FORESTS
https://doi.org/10.1234/XXXX-XXXX-2011-2-29-31
Abstract
Isotopic analysis was used to estimate the trophic differentiation of Diplopoda species in a deciduous temperate and a tropical monsoon forest. The variation in isotopic signatures among different species was much larger in the tropical forest (in 23 co-occurring species, 15N Ranged from –1 to +9,5‰) than in the temperate forest (9 species, 15N from –1 to +1,5‰). These data suggest that the trophic niche differentiation contributes to the maintenance of high species diversity of soil saprophagous animals in tropical ecosystems.
