Description of a new species of Surazomus (Arachnida: Schizomida), with comments on homology of male flagellum and mating march anchorage in the genus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Surazomus saturninoae sp. nov. is described from eastern Amazon. The male has a pentagonal flagellum, similar to those of three other species in the genus. These four species are herein gathered as the arboreus-group of Surazomus.

The history of short-tailed whip scorpions: changes in body size and flagellum shape in Schizomida

Swiss Journal of Palaeontology
Representatives of Schizomida, known as short-tailed whip scorpions, are an understudied group within Megoperculata. They are found subterraneanly in tropical and sub-tropical regions. They lack eyes, have superior mobility, and possess a flagellum which

Rapid detection of subterranean fauna from passive sampling of groundwater eDNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1706-1719, November 2023., 2023
Groundwater is an essential source of freshwater that supports surface ecosystems as well as organisms adapted to living underground. In this study we compared groundwater environmental DNA collected from active pump filtered water samples (AFGW), membranes submerged in water, and samples of morphologically identified animals collected at the same ...

Taking eDNA underground: Factors affecting eDNA detection of subterranean fauna in groundwater

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1257-1274, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Stygofauna are aquatic fauna that have evolved to live underground. The impacts of anthropogenic climate change, extraction and pollution on groundwater pose major threats to groundwater health, prompting the need for efficient and reliable means to detect and monitor stygofaunal communities.

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Plant roots fuel tropical soil animal communities

Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 742-753, May 2023., 2023
Our study quantifies the importance of litter vs. living root resources for soil animals across 30 taxonomic groups after conversion of rainforest into monoculture plantations. The results suggest that roots are of similar importance to litter for the soil animal food web, with root trenching effects being stronger in soil than in litter and litter ...

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

After 100 years: a detailed view of an eumalacostracan crustacean from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Lagerstätte with raptorial appendages unique to Euarthropoda

Lethaia, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 55-72, January 2021., 2021
The Solnhofen Konservat‐Lagerstätte yields a great number of remarkably preserved fossils of eumalacostracan crustaceans that help us understand the early radiation of several groups with modern representatives. One fossil from there, Francocaris grimmi Broili, 1917 is a small shrimp‐like crustacean originally described about 100 years ago as a ...
