Drivers of Collembola assemblages along an altitudinal gradient in northeast China
Altitudinal changes in the diversity of plants and animals have been well documented; however, soil animals received little attention in this context and it is unclear whether their diversity follows general altitudinal distribution patterns.

Climate change did not alter the effects of Bt maize on soil Collembola in northeast China
Bt maize is being increasingly cultivated worldwide as the effects of climate change are increasing globally. Bt maize IE09S034 and its near-isogenic non-Bt maize Zong 31 were used to investigate whether climate change alters the effects of Bt maize on ...

Ecological monitoring using Collembola metabarcoding with extremely low bycatch amplification
Collembola are used widely to monitor soil health and functional parameters. Recent developments in high throughput sequencing (especially metabarcoding) have substantially increased their potential for these ends.

Toxicity of Pb and of Pb/Cd combination on the springtail Folsomia candida in natural soils: Reproduction, growth and bioaccumulation as indicators [PDF]
The toxicity of Pb and Cd+Pb was assessed on the Collembola F. candida in two cultivated soils (SV and AU) with low organic matter (OM) content and circumneutral to basic pH, and an acid forested soil (EPC) with high OM content.

Collembola in soil play vital roles in ecosystem functioning. To understand the effects of forest management effects on soil Collembola, we sampled Collembola from five forest types replicated at eight sites. Animals were sampled by using a soil corer (ø

Collembola is one of a group of animals that generally live in the soil. Collembola has an important role in the ecosystem due to its function as a subsystem of consumer and decomposition that can be used as bio-indicators.

Comparative ecotoxicity of three polluted industrial soils for the Collembola Folsomia candida [PDF]
We tried to quantify the ecotoxicity of three industrial soil samples contaminated by different metals, using the Collembolan Folsomia candida as a biological model and mortality, growth and reproduction as parameters.

Identifying appropriate sampling and modelling approaches for analysing distributional patterns of Antarctic terrestrial arthropods along the Victoria Land latitudinal gradient [PDF]
Biotic communities in Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems are relatively simple and often lack higher trophic levels (e. g. predators); thus, it is often assumed that species' distributions are mainly affected by abiotic factors such as climatic conditions,
