    Studied the relationship between species richness and trophic niche parameters on the shredder guilds at Lake Nemi and Lake Albano. Research is based on the study of the potential trophic niche of two pairs of Lymnaea auricularia (Gastropoda) and Proasellus coxalis (Crust. Isopoda) allopatric populations, co-occurring on detritus in the 2 lakes, with respect to a set of microfungal resources common to both biotopes.-from Author

    Grazing of invertebrates leads to an increase in diversity and richness of species of fungi during succession. This effect is limited to early successional stages on substrates with fast decomposition. -from Author
