Abstract Soil food webs channel most of the energy in terrestrial ecosystems. Temperate and tropical forests host different soil invertebrate communities, but consequent differences in the structure and functioning of soil food webs between these major biomes remain unknown. Here, we calculate energy fluxes to explore generic patterns in biomass and energy distribution across micro-, meso- and macrofauna in forest ecosystems spanning from southern taiga to tropical rainforests.

Recently, chromosome conformation capture techniques such as Hi-C were utilized to detect structural variants in the genomes of patients with hereditary diseases [46]. We propose several modifications to this method, allowing to achieve high and uniform coverage of exome sequences while retaining information about chromatin contacts genome-wide (Fig. 1A and 1B).
