Predation risk for insects living in moss cushions: comparison between different strata of mountain forest
Original language description
Predation is a process of a major importance affecting the distribution, abundance, and diversity of species in ecosystems. Thus ecological research of predation is very intensive at present and very sophisticated designs are proposed to measure complexphenomena such as existence of an enemy-free space and tritrophic interactions. In our research we used living baits for a measurement of the predation risk in various microhabitats along vertical gradient (surface level, moss cushions, bushes and trunkof trees). The main hypothesis of our research is that moss cushions are unique habitat that can provide a shelter against predators. Based on the comparison of the predation risk in differentstrata in two mountainhabitats and ground microhabitats (mosscushions vs. litter) we tried to describe specific structure of insect preda-tor guild probably unique for the moss microhabitats.
