Abstract
⺠We analyzed variations in stable isotope ratios in 40 Mesostigmata species of beech forests. ⺠The majority of species occupy distinct trophic niches including closely related species. âºÂ The most important prey comprises secondary decomposers presumably in particular nematodes. âºÂ Trophic level in Mesostigmata correlates little with body size.
