Trait-based approaches are being increasingly adopted to understand species' ecological
strategies and how organisms influence ecosystem function. Trait-based research on soil …

Pest profiles in today's global food production system are continually affected by climate
change and extreme weather. Under varying climatic conditions, plant-parasitic nematodes …

Anthropogenically forced changes in global freshwater biodiversity demand more efficient
monitoring approaches. Consequently, environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is enabling …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) released into freshwaters undergo changes in their
density that make them highly bioavailable to the fauna in the sediments. In fine sediments …

Soil health is intimately intertwined with ecosystem services. Climate change negatively
impacts ecosystem functioning, by altering carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles and …

Some of the microorganisms present in urban wastewater, which include intestinal protozoa
and nematodes, can be pathogenic. Their (oo) cyst and egg transmissible stages are very …

Predatory nematodes play an important role in maintaining the population of plant parasitic
nematodes and other soil biota in soil ecosystem. Based on feeding apparatus and feeding …

Soil nematode communities and their functions are simultaneously influenced by abiotic
factors such as temperature and soil moisture. However, the complex interaction effects of …

It is well established that climate warming has become a growing issue globally, posing a
threat to native ecosystems. Alpine ecosystems, such as meadows of the Qinghai-Tibet …

Temperature is an important ecological driver modulating life history traits of organisms,
such as growth and reproduction. With the ongoing global warming, understanding the …
