Mitochondrial Genome Diversity in Collembola: Phylogeny, Dating and Gene Order
Diversity, 2019 Collembola (springtails) are an early diverging class of apterygotes, and mark the first substantial radiation of hexapods on land. Despite extensive work, the relationships between major collembolan lineages are still debated and, apart from the Early ...

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

Plant Phylogenetic History, Not Diversity, Drives Insect Biodiversity Across South Africa's Biomes
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Insects provide essential ecosystem services, but there is a concern that insect abundance is in rapid decline. Identifying trends in insect biodiversity is challenging because we lack baseline data for most biogeographic regions, and most insect species remain undescribed.

A checklist of springtails (Hexapoda, Collembola) from Kosovo and Metohija province, Republic of Serbia [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2022 View on Scopus The knowledge of Collembola diversity is far from complete, especially on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. This paper presents a summary of all identified species of springtails in the area of Kosovo and Metohija.

Effect of castor cake and elephant grass composting on edaphic fauna
Ciência Rural: Elephant grass and castor cake when combined can make a promising organic fertilizer. However, castor cake contains potentially toxic chemicals, such as ricin and ricinine. To test potential effects of these chemicals, compost piles of elephant grass (

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 98-112, February 2026.We applied factorial soil warming and moisture reduction treatments directly in the field in the Australian subalpine to assess changes to surface‐active soil arthropod abundance, diversity and community composition. After identifying nearly 50,000 specimens to order, we found a stronger effect of sampling month than treatment.

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.In this study we describe the temperature limits for almost 8% of the Greenlandic arthropod fauna (insects and spiders). By combining this with a DNA analysis and a projection of future climates inhabited by these species we reveal that upwards of 25% of the investigated species risk exposure to stressful temperatures by the end of the century and that

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.
