| Abstract | Numerous oak species have wide geographical distribution and canopy dominance and they may influence the structure and functioning of the community. Therefore, they can be considered as foundation species. In the present study, we tested the potential association between individual genetic diversity of the host plant (microsatellites), host tree species (Quercus castanea and Q. crassipes), and seasonality (dry vs. rainy) with their arthropod community structure [diversity (H′), density, biomass and composition]. Forty individual oak canopies were fogged (10 individuals per species per season) in the Parque Ecológico Ciudad de México. We identified 338 arthropod morphospecies belonging to 21 orders. NMDS showed a separation of host tree species during both seasons, suggesting a different community structure between host tree species. Q. crassipes showed the highest values for H′, richness, and density in comparison with Q. castanea. In contrast, Q. castanea showed the highest values for arthropod biomass. Homozygosity by locus index (HL), a measure of individual diversity, showed that the more genetically diverse host individuals registered more H′ and density of arthropods, independently of the season. On the contrary, arthropod biomass registered an inverse pattern. This study suggests that genetic diversity of foundation species is an important element in the structuring of the canopy arthropod community. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
