Towards a global synthesis of Collembola knowledge – challenges and potential solutions

Soil Organisms, 2020
Collembola are among the most abundant and diverse soil microarthropods, which are found in almost all (semi)terrestrial environments and often serve as model organisms in empirical studies. Diverse data collected on the biology and ecology of Collembola

Response of arboreal Collembola communities to the conversion of lowland rainforest into rubber and oil palm plantations

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background In the last decades, Southeast Asia has experienced massive conversion of rainforest into rubber and oil palm monoculture plantations. The effects of this land-use change on canopy arthropods are still largely unknown.

New method for taxonomic descriptions with coded notation, producing dynamic and interchangeable output

Ecology and Evolution
A proposal for taxonomic species description notation is presented to replace the traditional descriptive texts for a coded matrix, avoiding redundant adjectives and subjective descriptions.

Increased positive tree species mixture effects on the abundance and richness of Collembola with stand development in Canadian boreal forests

Forest Ecosystems
It is well established that species mixtures could enhance ecosystem functioning in diverse ecosystem types, with these benefits increasing over time. However, the impact of tree mixtures on Collembola communities following stand development in natural ...

Impact of Collembola on the Winter Wheat Growth in Soil Infected by Soil-Borne Pathogenic Fungi

Agronomy, 2022
The activity of some soil organisms can significantly influence the growth of plants. One of the more common are Collembola, which play an important role in suppressing soil-borne pathogens such as Fusarium spp.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Marshland restoration benefits Collembola recruitment: a long-term chronosequence study in Sanjiang mire marshland, China [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
To examine the biodiversity restoration of marshlands after human-induced disturbances, a long-term chronosequence study of Collembola communities was completed that included cultivated treatment (marshes with 15 years of soybean cultivation; CU15), two ...

Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Collembola

, 2001
2 Collembola (Schaller 1970) The pretarsus is a very short but separate leg section. On the ventral side, opposed to the single claw a spur­like empodial appendage and an empodial tubercle are present, and in some springtails an accessory empodial appendage.

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...
