Trophic niche differentiation and utilisation of food resources in Collembola is altered by rainforest conversion to plantation systems. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Intensively managed monoculture plantations are increasingly replacing natural forests across the tropics resulting in changes in ecological niches of species and communities, and in ecosystem functioning.

Hotspot in ferruginous rock may have serious implications in Brazilian conservation policy. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 A hotspot of subterranean Collembola in ferruginous rock caves and Mesovoid Shallow Substratum is revealed by the analysis of pseudocryptic diversity. The diversity is accessed by detailed description of chaetotaxy and slight variation in morphology of ...

Response of arboreal Collembola communities to the conversion of lowland rainforest into rubber and oil palm plantations. [PDF]
BMC Ecol Evol, 2022 Background In the last decades, Southeast Asia has experienced massive conversion of rainforest into rubber and oil palm monoculture plantations. The effects of this land-use change on canopy arthropods are still largely unknown.

The multiformity of antennal chaetae in Troglopedetes Joseph, 1872 (Collembola, Paronellidae, Troglopedetinae), with descriptions of two new species from Thailand. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2020 Two new species of the genus Troglopedetes Joseph, 1872 (T. meridionalis sp. nov. and T. kae sp. nov.) are described from caves of the Thai peninsula. This is the first report of the genus south of the Kra Isthmus.

Conversion of rainforest to oil palm and rubber plantations alters energy channels in soil food webs. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 We investigated community‐level neutral lipid fatty acid profiles in soil fauna in rainforest, rubber, and oil palm plantations in Sumatra. Different taxonomic groups were linked to different energy channels. Conversion to rubber decreased mycorrhizal energy channel while conversion to oil palm increased plant energy channel.

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 dorsal chaetotaxy of Trogolaphysa (Collembola, Paronellidae), with descriptions of two new species from caves in Belize. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2013 Species diagnosis in Trogolaphysa has been based, until now, almost exclusively on number of eyes and shape of claws and mucro. Chaetotaxy, a character system important to diagnose species in other genera of scaled Entomobryoidea, has been described only

Three new species of cave Troglopedetes (Collembola, Paronellidae, Troglopedetinae) from Thailand, with a key to the Thai species [PDF]
Subterranean Biology, 2021 Thailand is today the richest country for the genus Troglopedetes Joseph, 1872, with 17 species described from the country. In this study three troglomorphic new species are described from caves in the western region. They are T. spectabilis sp. nov. and
