• Ecological drivers of carrion beetle (Staphylinidae: Silphinae) diversity on small to large mammals 

      Büchner, Gwen; Hothorn, Torsten; Feldhaar, Heike; von Hoermann, Christian; Lackner, Tomáš; Rietz, Janine; Schlüter, Jens; Mitesser, Oliver; Benbow, M. Eric; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Müller, Jörg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Silphinae (Staphylinidae; carrion beetles) are important contributors to the efficient decomposition and recycling of carrion necromass. Their community composition is important for the provision of this ecosystem function ...
    • Mechanisms determining the multi-diversity of carrion visiting species along a gradient of carrion body mass 

      Wierer, Amelie; von Hoermann, Christian; Benbow, M. Eric; Büchner, Christiane; Feldhaar, Heike; Fiderer, Christian; Mitesser, Oliver; Rietz, Janine; Schlüter, Jens; Zeitzler, Johannes; Lackner, Tomáš; Bässler, Claus; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Müller, Jörg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Resource availability and habitat heterogeneity are essential drivers of biodiversity, but their individual roles often remain unclear since both factors are often correlated. Here, we tested the more-individuals hypothesis ...
