Objectives In this study we investigated the dynamics of meiofaunal and macrofaunal
communities in artificial water-filled tree holes. The abundances and, for the first time …

The meiofaunal community of artificial water-filled tree holes was determined, and the
bottom-up effects of different amounts of leaf litter on abundance and diversity were …

Forest management could potentially affect organisms in all forest habitats. However,
aquatic communities in water-filled tree-holes may be especially sensitive because of small …

Community composition may be determined by a variety of factors, including habitat
dimension, abiotic conditions, and biotic interactions. Habitat dimensions may influence …

Water-filled treeholes are temporally and spatially variable habitats that consist of
communities of a limited number of insect orders, namely dipterans and beetles. Since these …

Water—filled treeholes provide an experimental setting for examining processes within an
ecosystem, and influences of external factors on those processes. Using a limnological …

Ecological communities in forests have been shown to be strongly affected by forest
management but a detailed understanding of how different components of management …

Water-filled tree holes are phytotelmata formed when rain collects in branch crotches and
other wood-lined cavities. Repeated surveys of natural and artificial water-filled tree holes …

Arthropod communities in water‐filled tree holes may be sensitive to impacts of forest
management, for example via changes in environmental conditions such as resource input …

Detritus quality and quantity affect macroinvertebrate productivity and distribution in many
freshwater ecosystems. This study experimentally investigated the effects of leaf litter from …
