Effect of Dimethoate on Body Growth of Representatives of the Soil Living Mesofauna

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1996
For the elucidation of effects of a pesticide on life-cycle parameters of arthropods, applicable in the development of ecotoxicological test procedures with soil living animals, attention was drawn to body growth, which has previously been described as a sensitive parameter in Collembola.

The Overlooked Decomposers: Effects of Composting Materials and Duration on the Mesofauna Mediating Humification [PDF]

Compost fauna act by releasing various enzymes that break down organic matter into a stable, agriculturally useful products. Mesofauna are the least studied compared to micro- and macrofauna, with the existing studies relying on classical methods such as
