- Abstract
Current climate change is disrupting biotic interactions and eroding biodiversity worldwide. However, species sensitive to aridity, high temperatures, and climate variability might find shelter in microclimatic refuges, such as leaf rolls built by arthropods. To explore how the importance of leaf shelters for terrestrial arthropods changes with latitude, elevation, and climate, we conducted a distributed experiment comparing arthropods in leaf rolls versus control leaves across 52 sites along an 11,790 km latitudinal gradient. We then probed the impact of short- versus long-term climatic impacts on roll use, by comparing the relative impact of conditions during the experiment versus average, baseline conditions at the site. Leaf shelters supported larger organisms and higher arthropod biomass and species diversity than non-rolled control leaves. However, the magnitude of the leaf rolls' effect differed between long- and short-term climate conditions, metrics (species richness, biomass, and body size), and trophic groups (predators vs. herbivores). The effect of leaf rolls on predator richness was influenced only by baseline climate, increasing in magnitude in regions experiencing increased long-term aridity, regardless of latitude, elevation, and weather during the experiment. This suggests that shelter use by predators may be innate, and thus, driven by natural selection. In contrast, the effect of leaf rolls on predator biomass and predator body size decreased with increasing temperature, and increased with increasing precipitation, respectively, during the experiment. The magnitude of shelter usage by herbivores increased with the abundance of predators and decreased with increasing temperature during the experiment. Taken together, these results highlight that leaf roll use may have both proximal and ultimate causes. Projected increases in climate variability and aridity are, therefore, likely to increase the importance of biotic refugia in mitigating the effect

- Abstract
The construction of shelters on plants by arthropods might influence other organisms via changes in colonization, community richness, species composition, and functionality. Arthropods, including beetles, caterpillars, sawflies, spiders, and wasps often interact with host plants via the construction of shelters, building a variety of structures such as leaf ties, tents, rolls, and bags; leaf and stem galls, and hollowed out stems. Such constructs might have both an adaptive value in terms of protection (i.e., serve as shelters) but may also exert a strong influence on terrestrial community diversity in the engineered and neighboring hosts via colonization by secondary occupants. Although different traits of the host plant (e.g., physical, chemical, and architectural features) may affect the potential for ecosystem engineering by insects, such effects have been, to a certain degree, overlooked. Further analyses of how plant traits affect the occurrence of shelters may therefore enrich our understanding of the organizing principles of plant-based communities. This data set includes more than 1000 unique records of ecosystem engineering by arthropods, in the form of structures built on plants. All records have been published in the literature, and span both natural structures (91% of the records) and structures artificially created by researchers (9% of the records). The data were gathered between 1932 and 2021, across more than 50 countries and several ecosystems, ranging from polar to tropical zones. In addition to data on host plants and engineers, we aggregated data on the type of constructs and the identity of inquilines using these structures. This data set highlights the importance of these subtle structures for the organization of terrestrial arthropod communities, enabling hypotheses testing in ecological studies addressing ecosystem engineering and facilitation mediated by constructs.

Anthropogenic influences on the natural environment are increasingly observed and we only start to comprehend how this will affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the long run. This question is challenging because scientific approaches normally investigate only small parts of a community, focussing on particular taxa or the effect of a restricted number of environmental variables. The predictive power of these studies is questionable because reality is a lot more complex and direct as well as indirect interactions can lead to unexpected outcomes. Whole community approaches under natural environmental conditions are logistically impracticable in most ecosystems due to the sheer impossibility of sampling, for example, an entire forest. Phytotelma, such as bromeliads, provide an ideal solution for this dilemma. These small temporary water bodies contain communities of manageable sizes that can be easily sampled in naturally replicated micro-ecosystems. Most of the previous bromeliad studies have investigated the macrofauna living in bromeliads. Microfauna have been mostly neglected and therefore little is known about their community structure. Microfauna organisms - including flagellates, ciliates, amoeba, rotifers and crustaceans - are the part of the bromeliad-inhabiting communities that this dissertation focusses on. We used a community-level approach to explore community-structuring processes in bromeliad microfauna with the aim to better predict potential effects of environmental changes on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In a field survey along a canopy cover gradient (chapter 1) we investigated the effect of differences in sun-exposure in a restinga rainforest on microfauna community structure. We found strong differences in the environmental conditions which resulted in changes of habitat quality along the canopy cover gradient. This was shown to affect the community structure and beta diversity of bromeliad-inhabiting microfauna via differences in daily temperature fluctuations. With regard to the expected temperature increase through climate change, this result shows that it is not necessarily the direct effect of higher average temperatures that proposes a threat to natural communities but that indirect effects of climate change such as repeated short-time fluctuations in environmental conditions may decrease a habitat’s quality, and thus, lead to a loss of biodiversity and potentially ecological functions. To disentangle the effects of environmental change and trophic interactions on microfauna community structure we carried out a community-transplantation experiment along an elevational gradient (chapter 2). We used a full-factorial experimental design to particularly address potential interactions between environmental change and trophic interactions. The results showed that bromeliad-inhabiting microfauna communities are also shaped by predator presence and priority effects. Interacting effects played an important role in structuring communities, suggesting that we need to broaden our scientific approaches to fully understand the relationships in natural ecosystems and better predict consequences of human-induced changes. Though bromeliad plants grow mainly epiphytic, most bromeliad-related studies, including our field survey (chapter 1) and our field experiment (chapter 2), sample exclusively in the understory. Based on the assumption that sun-exposure increased with increasing height and thus leads to changed environmental conditions, we carried out a field survey sampling understory and canopy bromeliads using single-rope climbing techniques (chapter 3). The comparison of microfauna community structure in understory and canopy bromeliads revealed that no change in community structure occurs along the height gradient. This justifies the former bromeliad community approaches with exclusively understory samples. Finally, we conducted a field survey along three elevational gradients to determine if bromeliad-inhabiting communities change in a generalizable pattern along natural environmental gradients (chapter 4). There was no clear pattern detectable that would allow us to filter out driving environmental factors for community structure in bromeliads on regional scale. The lack of a clear environmental driver of community structure was probably at least partly due to the lack of environmental differences along two of the three gradients. We conclude from our results that microfauna communities are subject to complex interactions and that it is therefore important to use full-factorial approaches in future studies to disentangle the effects of potential drivers of community structure. So far, we could show that daily temperature fluctuations, predator presence, priority effects and oxygen saturation can play key roles in shaping microfauna communities, but we emphasize that these are strongly dependent on the surrounding environment making general predictions difficult. Human-induced environmental alterations such as climate change are likely to affect bromeliad-inhabiting microfauna communities via indirect effects which might result in alterations of important processes in regard to energy and matter fluxes on the ecosystem level. Based upon these results we recommend the integration of microfauna communities into conservation strategies.

The mechanisms which structure communities have been the focus of a large body of research. Here, we address the question if habitat characteristics describing habitat quality may drive changes in community composition and beta diversity of bromeliad-inhabiting microfauna. In our system, changes in canopy cover along an environmental gradient may affect resource availability, disturbance in form of daily water temperature fluctuations and predation, and thus may lead to changes in community structure of bromeliad microfauna through differences in habitat quality along this gradient. Indeed, we observed distinct changes in microfauna community composition along the environmental gradient explained by changes in the extent of daily water temperature fluctuations. We found beta diversity to be higher under low habitat quality (low canopy cover) than under high habitat quality (high canopy cover), which could potentially be explained by a higher relative importance of stochastic processes under low habitat quality. We also partitioned beta diversity into turnover and nestedness components and we found a nested pattern of beta diversity along the environmental gradient, with communities from the lower-quality habitat being nested subsets of communities from the higher-quality habitat. However, this pattern resulted from an increase in microfauna alpha diversity with an increase in habitat quality. By providing insights into microfauna-environment relationships our results contribute to the mechanistic understanding of community dynamics in small freshwater bodies. Here, we highlight the importance of habitat characteristics representing habitat quality in structuring communities, and suggest that this information may help to improve conservation practices of small freshwater ecosystems.
