Multiple environmental controls explain global patterns in soil animal communities [PDF]
, 2020 Soil animals play important roles in ecosystem functioning and stability, but the environmental controls on their communities are not fully understood. In this study, we compiled a dataset of soil animal communities for which the abundance and body mass ...

The Effect of Carbon Dioxide Anaesthesia on Collembola [PDF]
, 2017 Excerpt: In a contribution to the Michigan Entomologist by Snider, Shaddy and Butcher (1969), a method of carbon dioxide anaesthesia for some soil arthropods was described as an alternative to etherization which frequently gives rise to unpredictable ...

Insects Associated with Michigan Bumblebees (\u3ci\u3eBombus\u3c/i\u3e Spp.) [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) Studies of insect associates of bumblebees are not new. For example, Tuck (1896, 1897) reported over 50 species of insects associated with nests of British bumblebees. Sladen (1912) discussed nest associates and parasites of European bumblebees,

Activity and Diversity of Collembola (Insecta) and Mites (Acari) in Litter of a Degraded Midwestern Oak Woodland [PDF]
, 2018 Litter-inhabiting Collembola and mites were sampled using pitfall traps over a twelve-month period from four sub-communities within a 100-acre (40-ha) oak-woodland complex in northern Cook County, Illinois.

Evaluation of Pit-trap Transects With Varied Trap Spacing in a Northern Michigan Forest [PDF]
, 2017 The study compared effects of four distances between traps (range 0.5-4.0 m) on arthropod captures. Twelve traps were aligned in each of four transects, and 20 samples.

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
