The effects of drought upon epigeal Collembola from arable soils

, 1999
1. Springtails (Hexapoda, Collembola) are usually associated with moist microhabitats. However, some species show adaptations to ecosystems subjected to periodic desiccation.

Legacy effects of experimental environmental change on soil micro‐arthropod communities

Ecosphere, 2020
Global change experiments such as experimental warming and nutrient addition strongly affect the structure and functioning of high latitude and altitude ecosystems. However, it is often unknown to what extend such effects are permanent or whether changes

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

How will climate change affect the feeding biology of Collembola? [PDF]

Collembolans are one of the most diverse and abundant group of soil invertebrates. Recent studies have shown anthropogenic climate warming to alter Collembola diversity and density in warm-dry (more detrimental effects) and warm-wet (lesser detrimental ...

Taxonomical and synecological characteristics of communities of springtails in bog’s biotops of Volyn Polissja

Біологічні студії, 2013
Bog’s springtails (Collembola), the habitants of Volyn Polissja region, were studied. Untill this time, there was no information about fauna and population of soil invertebrates in the bog’s edafotop of Western Polissja study greatly enriched with fauna ...

Moderately thinning encroaching shrub species is key to balancing rangeland restoration and arthropod biodiversity conservation in Namibia

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and

Rainforest Collembola (Hexapoda: Collembola) and the insularity of epiphyte microhabitats [PDF]

Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2011
Abstract.  1. This study compares species composition of collembolan (Collembola: Hexapoda) assemblages associated with rainforest soil, forest floor leaf litter and epiphyte‐associated leaf litter deposits, canopy foliage and bark surfaces in a subtropical rainforest in southeast Queensland.

High Densities of Large Herbivores Rapidly Disrupt Ecosystem Integrity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Human‐driven increases in large herbivore populations are emerging as a widespread global change pressure on terrestrial ecosystems. Using the largest hectare‐scale herbivore density manipulation experiment conducted to date, we show that high deer densities rapidly disrupt ecosystem integrity across multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

The role of hedgerows in the recolonisation of arable fields by epigeal Collembola

, 2000
The role of hedgerows as reservoirs for beneficial arthropods in agroecosystems has been extensively studied, but their importance as habitats for springtails (Collembola) is largely unknown. Population recovery in arable fields by epigeal Collembola can
