Intraspecific variation in leaf litter alters fitness metrics and the gut microbiome of consumers.

Summary

This study shows that differences in leaf litter from the same tree species can affect invertebrate consumers in ecosystems. Climate change-induced shifts in plant distributions may disrupt decomposition patterns and affect consumer fitness and behavior.
