Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 260-274, March 2025.Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion had taxon‐dependent effects on myriapods (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary. Primary consumers such as millipedes and symphylans seemed to be more affected by the invasion than predators. Centipede assemblages were only affected by soil moisture and not by invasion.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 64-76, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The introduction of non‐native tree species has become a global concern and may disrupt native communities and related ecosystem functions. Soil food webs regulate organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in forests with their feeding activities, but evaluating

, 2019 This data provide evidence that Protura predominantly feed on mycorrhizal hyphae via sucking up hyphal cytoplasm. The predominant consumption of ectomycorrhizal mycelia by Protura is an exception among soil invertebrates and may affect carbon ...

Soil Organisms, 2015 Protura are miniaturized soil arthropods with an enigmatic biology. Among mandibulate arthropods, Protura are outstanding due to the absence of antennae. This study provides the first detailed investigation on external cuticular sensilla in two proturan

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.How pterygotid sea scorpions used their tripartite elongate cheliceres to get prey items close to the mouth region remains a conundrum. We applied four different 3D kinematic settings with regard to insertion and orientation of the cheliceres to examine the most likely way this was realized.

The present knowledge of Protura [PDF]
Fragmenta Faunistica, 1997 Actually, more than 660 species of Protura is known. The knowledge of the Protura of different regions of the world is very unequal and mostly poor. The author estimate that not more than 10% of the existing species were described till now. Only 20 species (and one subspecies) of Protura is known from the Korean Peninsula.

A new, simplified, drying protocol to prepare tardigrades for scanning electron microscopy
Microscopy Research and Technique, Volume 87, Issue 4, Page 716-726, April 2024.Here a cheap, safe, and fast new method for Tardigrada preparation for scanning electron microscope (SEM) is proposed. The new protocol allows to minimize the number of animals sacrificed for SEM studies and is potentially applicable to the study of other meiofaunal soft‐bodied taxa.
