Study area The study area, Pianacci (43°44′31.81″N, 11°06′14.76″E), is a forest stand located about 10 km south of Florence, Italy. The stand is dominated by maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) and, in suborder, Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L.), with manna ash (Fraxinus ornus L.) and holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) as ancillary species (Supplementary Fig. 2).

Animal cultures Chaoborus larvae hatch from eggs deposited in freshwater and pupate into adult midges after processing through four larval stages that are increasing in body size. Due to the gape limitation of their catching basket, they are size selective in their prey choice, and the smaller instars feed on smaller prey items like ciliates, […] More
A priori meta-model SEM integrates multivariate relationships, testing both direct and indirect effects within a system23. SEM requires a strong theoretical and empirical knowledge of the study system to guide model specification and modification23. We conducted a literature review of the relationships between institutional attendance, zoo species composition and in situ contributions. Based on this […] More
