Micro Gondwana: soil and litter mesofauna in the subalpine and alpine of North‐West Nelson, southern New Zealand

open access: yesNew 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.

Comparison of Short Generalist and Specific Markers to Assess the Diversity of Arthropods Using eDNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
By analyzing > 1200 eDNA samples with different markers amplifying arthropods, we show that generalist and specific markers produce correlated pictures of community variation; still specific markers provide a more accurate measure of biodiversity and of its response to environmental stressors.

Protura and molecular phylogenetics: status quo of a young love

open access: yesSoil Organisms, 2011
Protura are among the latecomers to molecular phylogenetics. The first sequences were published about a decade ago; since then relatively little additional data has been collected. Nonetheless, the available molecular phylogenetic analyses have provided

Identification and character analysis of the Acerentomidae (Protura) of the northeastern Palearctic (Protura: Acerentomidae) [PDF]

open access: yesZootaxa, 2014
This paper is a summary of proturan fauna from Siberia and the Russian Far East, collectively termed the northeastern Palearctic. Special attention is given to the analysis of Acerentomidae, which is extraordinarily diverse in these regions (31 species). A key to species and a brief exposition of distribution of each genus are provided. A redescription

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Organic vs conventional stockless arable systems: a multidisciplinary approach to soil quality evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Soil quality in Mediterranean conventional and organic stockless arable systems was assessed by a multidisciplinary approach. At the end of the first cycle of a 5-year crop rotation (2002–2006) in the Mediterranean Arable Systems Comparison Trial ...
