First Survey of Collembola (Hexapoda: Entognatha) Fauna in Soil of Archipelago Fernando de Noronha, Brazil [PDF]
Summary We provide the first survey of collembolan fauna of the archipelago Fernando de Noronha (Brazil) with 36 new records of species for the archipelago and a genus Calvatomina Yosii, 1966) and a subgenus (Setogaster Salmon, 1951) new for Brazil. Moreover the following is proposed replacement name: Collophora terrabrasilis nom. nov.

Additional records for Iranian Collembola (Hexapoda: Entognatha) fauna from Tehran province
In this study, the genus of Triacanthella Schäffer, 1897 and the species Triacanthella intermedia (Dunger and Zivadinovic, 1984) report for the first time for Iranian fauna. Additionally, the species Ceratophysella stercoraria (Stach, 1963), Hypogastrura vernalis (Carl, 1901), Hypogastrura manubrialis (Tullberg, 1869), Orthonychiurus cf.

Comparative gut content analysis of invasive mosquitofish from Italy and Spain. [PDF]
A comparison between 9 invasive populations of eastern mosquitofish across Italy and Spain found strong size‐specific differences in feeding patterns that are probably linked to sexual dimorphism (males are smaller than females). Moreover, mosquitofish fed on a wide array of prey, yet no single diet item/category was shared among all populations.

Important Crop Pollinators Respond Less Negatively to Anthropogenic Land Use Than Other Animals. [PDF]
With a high proportion of crops requiring animal‐mediated pollination to some extent, understanding how anthropogenic landscapes impact communities and pollination provision is critical for ensuring food security. We find that the species most important for crop pollination are responding less negatively (and sometimes positively) to human disturbance ...

Trust your guts? The effect of gut section on diet composition and impact of Mus musculus on islands using metabarcoding. [PDF]
In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.

Enhancing arthropod communities through plant diversified edge of kale cultivation
Plant diversification can increase organism abundance while reducing phytophagous insect activity in agricultural crops. We assessed arthropod diversity in fava beans (Vicia faba), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and marigolds (Tagetes patula) along the ...

Quantification of invertebrates on fungal fruit bodies by the use of time‐lapse cameras
Here we use time‐lapse cameras to monitor invertebrates on the fruit bodies of a common wood‐decay fungus, Fomitopsis pinicola. The most common visitors were beetles, spiders, true flies, slugs and centipedes. The invertebrates were more active during night and, for the beetles, early in the season, probably related to a period of high spore production
