Neelipleona and Symphypleona (Collembola) from a Sampling in the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Madrid and Segovia, Spain): Taxonomy and Biogeography [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Megalothorax minimus (Neelidae) and Sphaeridia pumilis (Sminthurididae) had already been identified in surface sampling from Sierra de Guadarrama. In Europe, Sminthurinus gisini (Katiannidae) seems to be associated with environments at specific altitudes,

On latches in biological systems: a comparative morphological and functional study of the retinaculum and the dens lock in Collembola [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2023 Background Springtails have the ability to jump using morphological structures consisting of a catapult, the furca, and a latching system constructed with interaction of the retinaculum and the dens lock.

Phylomitogenomic analyses on collembolan higher taxa with enhanced taxon sampling and discussion on method selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Collembola are a basal group of Hexapoda renowned for both unique morphological characters and significant ecological roles. However, a robust and plausible phylogenetic relationship between its deeply divergent lineages has yet to be achieved.

The Evolution of Collembola Higher Taxa (Arthropoda, Hexapoda) Based on Mitogenome Data
Diversity, 2022 Mitogenomes represent useful tools for investigating the phylogeny of many metazoan clades. Regarding Collembola, the use of mitogenomics has already shown promising results, but few published works include sufficient taxon sampling to study its ...
