Endogeic earthworms (\n                    <jats:italic>Allolobophora chlorotica<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and hemiedaphic springtails (\n                    <jats:italic>Ceratophysella denticulata<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) were highly\n                    <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>\n                    C enriched when incubated under light, deriving up to 3.0 and 17.0%, respectively, of their body carbon from the microbial source in 7 days. Earthworms assimilated more\n                    <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>\n                    C in undisturbed soil than when the microbial material was mixed into the soil, presumably reflecting selective surface grazing. By contrast, neither adult nor newly hatched terrestrial slugs (\n                    <jats:italic>Deroceras reticulatum<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) grazed on algal mats.

We conclude from these preliminary laboratory experiments that, in addition to litter and root-derived carbon from vascular plants, photoautotrophic soil surface microorganisms (cyanobacteria, algae) may be an ecologically important carbon input route for temperate soil animals that are traditionally assigned to the decomposer channel in soil food web models and carbon cycling studies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1098\/rsbl.2015.0646","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,7]],"date-time":"2016-01-07T17:19:13Z","timestamp":1452187153000},"page":"20150646","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1098\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Photoautotrophic microorganisms as a carbon source for temperate soil invertebrates"],"prefix":"10.1098","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0098-7960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olaf","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Republic of Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Dyckmans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Stable Isotope Research and Analysis, B\u00fcsgen-Institute, University of G\u00f6ttingen, B\u00fcsgenweg 2, 37077 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Schrader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johann Heinrich von Th\u00fcnen-Institute\u2014Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries, Institute of Biodiversity, Bundesallee 50, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"175","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-56475-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ngeo1486"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1938006"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gca.2013.03.020"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.269.5228.1257"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1461-0248.2007.01064.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apsoil.2010.06.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pedobi.2006.09.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_10_2","first-page":"44","article-title":"Relations of soil oligochaetes and algae","volume":"12","author":"Shtina EA","year":"1981","journal-title":"Soviet J.
