• Ground beetleRelated: Many ground beetles hunt, shelter, or reproduce within leaf litter.

• LinyphiidaeRelated: Leaf litter is a common hunting and web-building habitat for linyphiids.

• PauropodaRelated: Pauropods commonly inhabit moist litter as well as underlying soil.

• Acer pseudoplatanusRelated: Its rapidly decomposing leaves can change nutrient cycling and soil conditions beneath the canopy.

• Archispirostreptus gigasRelated: Leaf litter supplies both food and shelter in the millipede’s forest habitat.

• Ground rollerRelated: It provides both foraging substrate and concealment for ground-dwelling species.

• Pill millipedeRelated: Many pill millipedes shelter and forage in this moist, decomposing layer.

• Plant litterBroader topic: Leaves are often the most abundant and readily recognizable component of plant litter.

• ProturaRelated: Protura commonly inhabit the moist spaces within this surface layer.

• MesiteRelated: Mesites search through it for invertebrates and other food.

• Syagrus romanzoffianaRelated: Its large fallen leaves and fruit create recurring cleanup needs in managed landscapes.

• TetrigidaeRelated: Many tetrigids forage and hide in this ground-level habitat.

• Washingtonia filiferaRelated: Dead fronds often remain attached, creating a conspicuous skirt rather than falling as ordinary litter.
