Diversity of Acari and Collembola along a pollution gradient in soils of a pre-pyrenean forest ecosystem [PDF]
, 2012 Mites and springtails are important members of soil mesofauna and have been proven to be good bioindicators of airborne pollutants. We studied the surrounding area of a steel mill located in a mountain valley of North Spain.

Collembola laterally move biochar particles.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Biochar is being discussed as a soil amendment to improve soil fertility and mitigate climate change. While biochar interactions with soil microbial biota have been frequently studied, interactions with soil mesofauna are understudied. We here present an

Nutrient allocations and metabolism in two collembolans with contrasting reproduction and growth strategies [PDF]
, 2009 Physiological mechanisms such as allocation and release of nutrients are keys to understanding an animal\u27s adaptation to a particular habitat. This study investigated how two detrivores with contrasting life‐history traits allocated carbon (C) and ...
