Consumption of introduced oak litter by native decomposers (Glomeridae, Diplopoda)

► We study consumption of introduced Mediterranean-oak litter by native millipedes. ► Introduced leaf litter is readily consumed by local Glomeris marginata population. ► Consumption takes place at equal or higher rates than on native leaf litter. ► Results do not indicate any adaptation of the diplopod species to local litter. ► Foreign leaf litter has no negative effect on the feeding activity of G. marginata.
