    Abstract «Nahrungsnetze im Schweizerischen Nationalpark» zeigt, dass pflanzenfressende Tiere ̶ von Hirschen bis zu Schnecken und Insekten ̶ in den Weide-Ökosystemen des Nationalparks eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Fehlen sie, zerfallen Nahrungsnetze und Nährstoffkreisläufe werden unterbrochen. Das Ökosystem funktioniert nicht mehr. Während die grossen Tiere für eine hohe Biodiversität sorgen, halten die kleinen wirbellosen Tiere das Ökosystem am Laufen. -- In diesem Buch sind Erkenntnisse aus den ve...

    Abstract Despite plants realistically being affected by vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores simultaneously, fundamental differences in the ecology and evolution of these two herbivore guilds often means their impacts on plants are studied separately. A synthesis of the literature is needed to understand the types of plant traits examined and their response to, and effect on (in terms of forage selection) vertebrate and invertebrate herbivory, and to identify associated knowledge gaps. Focusing on grassland systems and species, we found 138 articles that met our criteria: 39 invertebrate, 97 vertebrate and 2 focussed on both vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores. Our study identified invertebrate focussed research, research conducted in the Southern Hemisphere and research on nondomesticated herbivores was significantly underrepresented based on our search and should be a focus of future research. Differences in study focus (trait response or trait effect), along with differences in the types of traits examined, led to limited opportunity for comparison between the two herbivore guilds. This review therefore predominantly discusses the response and effect of plant traits to each herbivore guild separately. In future studies, we suggest this review be used as a guide for trait selection, to improve comparability and the broader significance of results.

    Abstract Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the incidence of climate extremes. Consequences of climate extremes on biodiversity can be highly detrimental, yet few studies also suggest beneficial effects of climate extremes on certain organisms. To obtain a general understanding of ecological responses to climate extremes, we present a review of how 16 major taxonomic/functional groups (including microorganisms, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates) respond during extreme drought, precipitation, and temperature. Most taxonomic/functional groups respond negatively to extreme events, whereas groups such as mosses, legumes, trees, and vertebrate predators respond most negatively to climate extremes. We further highlight that ecological recovery after climate extremes is challenging to predict purely based on ecological responses during or immediately after climate extremes. By accounting for the characteristics of the recovering species, resource availability, and species interactions with neighboring competitors or facilitators, mutualists, and enemies, we outline a conceptual framework to better predict ecological recovery in terrestrial ecosystems.

    Abstract Human‐caused loss of vertebrate and invertebrate animals, defaunation, is increasing, and potentially affects plant community structure of diverse grassland ecosystems world‐wide. We experimentally simulated defaunation using size‐selective fences to progressively exclude large‐, medium‐ and small‐sized mammals, and invertebrates from two subalpine vegetation types in the Swiss National Park (SNP): intensively grazed short‐grass and moderately grazed tall‐grass vegetation. We assessed plant community properties yearly from 2009 to 2013, and examined treatment effects on plant community structure in the two grassland types. In the short‐grass vegetation, the exclusion of large mammals increased total plant biomass, while the exclusion of large and medium‐sized mammals increased total, grass and forb biomass compared to when all animals had access. These increases became stronger when invertebrates were also excluded. The exclusion of all mammals and invertebrates increased biomass of grasses by 205%, forbs by 100% and total plant biomass by 118% compared to when all animals had access, hence enhancing relative biomass of grasses from 43.6% to 60%, changing plant species composition and lowering richness of forbs by 16%, the number of plant families by 13% and family‐level Shannon diversity by 23%. In contrast to these significant community‐level responses found in the short‐grass vegetation, there was no evidence that the size‐selective exclusion of animals altered the plant community structure of the tall‐grass vegetation. The contrasting results were due to the difference in plant community composition prior to our experiment, which were related to differences in quantity and quality of forage and in grazing intensities of herbivores between the two grassland types. Synthesis. Our results showed that different‐sized animals, in particular large mammals and invertebrates, contributed to maintain the plant community structure in the short‐grass vegetation, highlighting the importance of multiple, functionally different animal groups for ecosystem functioning and stability. In contrast to the short‐grass vegetation, we could not detect such a top‐down control by animals in the tall‐grass vegetation. Our results suggest that potential defaunation effects on grassland plant community structure depend on the degree of grazing pressure release and grassland vegetation type.
