Invertebrate community responses to biochar addition in NTFP-enriched Amazonian secondary forests

Biochar
Soil invertebrates contribute to critical ecosystem processes in tropical regions, being highly diverse yet poorly studied. The addition of pyrolyzed biomass (biochar) to tropical soils can increase forest productivity by enhancing the availability of P ...

The Effect of Long‐Term Underlying Management on Soil Faunal Communities of a Newly Established Herbal Ley

Soil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 4, October‐December 2025.
ABSTRACT Soil ecosystems support a diverse range of life essential for a functioning soil. However, agricultural establishment methods like tillage intensity have been shown to directly affect soil fauna populations. Soil fauna diversity and abundance were investigated following a 10‐year experiment testing different crop establishment systems in an ...

Genome Wide Analyses Corroborate Cryptic Speciation in Anurida maritima (Collembola, Poduromorpha)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 649-657, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Cryptic diversity is ubiquitous within Collembola (springtails). Numerous studies have reported substantial genetic divergence within morphological species. One potentially involved morphospecies is Anurida maritima (Guérin‐Méneville, 1836). A. maritima is confined to the intertidal zone, where it often occurs in high densities. A recent study

Positive Effects of Inter‐Row Vegetation on Soil Fauna and Organic Matter Decomposition in Mediterranean Vineyards

Soil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 3, July‐September 2025.
ABSTRACT Soil is a key compartment providing important ecosystem services for sustainable agriculture. Our study examined the effects of three inter‐row vegetation types on soil biological activity, mesofauna, and organic matter decomposition in 15 Mediterranean vineyards of South‐eastern France. The three vegetation types included inter‐rows sown with

Micronutrients are drivers of abundance, richness, and composition of soil insect communities in tropical rainforests

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Communities of soil insects in tropical rainforests are among the richest and most complex, but the mechanisms structuring them remain mostly unknown. Identifying whether nutrient availability plays a relevant role in the assembly of these communities poses several challenges due to the diverse nutritional requirements of insects.

Effects of genetically modified maize MON810 on surface‐active springtails (Collembola)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 3, Page 207-217, March 2025.
We investigated the effects of Bt‐maize MON810 expressing the toxin Cry1Ab on nontarget invertebrates on the abundance and diversity of surface‐active springtails in the temperate region of Central Europe (western Slovakia) from 2012 to 2014 in 10 plots planted with Bt and 10 with the near‐isogenic non‐Bt event DK440. The usual fertilizer and herbicide
