“…We found that the elevation had an extremely significant effect on the community structure of soil surface‐dwelling Oribatida. However, other studies found that the elevation had no biological significance, and the variation of the microarthropod community along the altitudinal gradient was associated with either biotic or abiotic factors, such as plant community, rather than a response to altitude (Jiang et al, 2015; Nieto Peñalver et al, 2017; Valencia‐Cuevas et al, 2020).…”

“…Some species have a remarkable dispersal capacity and can tolerate the frequent extreme climates and low availability of resources in high altitudes (Hasegawa et al, 2006; Illig et al, 2010; Otto & Svensson, 1982; Valencia‐Cuevas et al, 2020). In our study, some soil surface‐dwelling Oribatida ( Achipteria coleoptrata , Hafenrefferia acuta , Lauroppia neerlandica , among others) could establish at all altitudes.…”

“…Compared to soil invertebrates, soil surface‐dwelling invertebrates are closely related to plant diversity, and the variety of litter provides suitable microhabitats for soil surface‐dwelling invertebrates (Hasegawa et al, 2006; Xu et al, 2020). The high rate of litter turnover along an altitudinal gradient affects the exposure risk and food availability for invertebrates (Olson, 1994; Valencia‐Cuevas et al, 2020).…”

With the aim of exploring the source of the high variability observed in the production of perezone, in Acourtia cordata wild plants, we analyze the influence of soil parameters and phenotypic characteristics on its perezone content. Perezone is a sesquiterpene quinone responsible for several pharmacological effects and the A. cordata plants are the natural source of this metabolite. The chemistry of perezone has been widely studied, however, no studies exist related to its production under natural conditions, nor to its biosynthesis and the environmental factors that affect the yield of this compound in wild plants. We also used a proteomic approach to detect differentially expressed proteins in wild plant rhizomes and compare the profiles of high vs. low perezone-producing plants. Our results show that in perezone-producing rhizomes, the presence of high concentrations of this compound could result from a positive response to the effects of some edaphic factors, such as total phosphorus (Pt), total nitrogen (Nt), ammonium (NH4), and organic matter (O. M.), but could also be due to a negative response to the soil pH value. Additionally, we identified 616 differentially expressed proteins between high and low perezone producers. According to the functional annotation of this comparison, the upregulated proteins were grouped in valine biosynthesis, breakdown of leucine and isoleucine, and secondary metabolism such as terpenoid biosynthesis. Downregulated proteins were grouped in basal metabolism processes, such as pyruvate and purine metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Our results suggest that soil parameters can impact the content of perezone in wild plants. Furthermore, we used proteomic resources to obtain data on the pathways expressed when A. cordata plants produce high and low concentrations of perezone. These data may be useful to further explore the possible relationship between perezone production and abiotic or biotic factors and the molecular mechanisms related to high and low perezone production.
