Variations of collembolan communities in drained and diked salt marsh and adjacent farmland in coastal southeastern China

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Drained and diked salt marshes (DDSM) habitats, a typical form of coastal wetland, are undergoing ecological recovery, offering valuable insights into strategies for restoring and protecting biodiversity in reclaimed coastal wetlands. Richness, abundance,

Ecological Safety Assessment of Insecticidal Proteins Introduced into Biotech Crops [PDF]

, 2008
Crops genetically engineered to express insecticidal proteins have been used in U.S. agriculture since 1996 and are being increasingly adopted worldwide. The ecological safety of these crops has been extensively considered by regulatory agencies prior to

Smart Skin Patterns Protect Springtails

PLoS ONE, 2011
Springtails, arthropods who live in soil, in decaying material, and on plants, have adapted to demanding conditions by evolving extremely effective and robust anti-adhesive skin patterns. However, details of these unique properties and their structural basis are still unknown. Here we demonstrate that collembolan skin can resist wetting by many organic

Updated peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance dichlorprop‐P and variant dichlorprop‐P‐2‐ethylhexyl

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The conclusions of the EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, Ireland and co‐rapporteur Member State, Poland, for the pesticide active substance dichlorprop‐P and the variant dichlorprop‐P‐2‐ethylhexyl and the assessment of applications for maximum

Acacia invasion triggers cascading effects above- and belowground in fragmented forests [PDF]

NeoBiota
Invasive alien plants like Acacia species are key drivers of ecosystem change, with considerable effects on forest structure, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. In the Mediterranean region, which is already vulnerable to challenges such as anthropogenic

How the small host the small: cryptogam trait‐mediated structuring of Antarctic microarthropod communities

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Primary producers shape terrestrial biodiversity, but most research has focused on vascular plants, while the role of cryptogams (mosses, lichens and algae) remains under‐explored. Cryptogams dominate Antarctic vegetation and support diverse microarthropod communities. However, how cryptogam traits influence these communities remains poorly understood.

A Biological Inventory of Meacham Cave (Independence County, Arkansas) [PDF]

, 2011
During September 2008 through June 2011, we compiled a biological inventory of Meacham Cave in Independence County, AR. Compared to other caves in the region, Meacham Cave houses few vertebrates, but non-aquatic invertebrates were relatively common.

Springtails

, 2001
Springtails are small, abundant, wingless insects of the order Collembola that live in a variety of moist habitats. Because of their small size and micro- habitat, they are seldom observed. Most of them live in the soil or in other concealed situations.

Reliance on blue, green, and brown energy channels drives a shift in the trophic position of riparian spiders

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms shaping food chain length (FCL) has long been central to food web ecology. FCL is a key determinant of stability, energy flow efficiency, and biodiversity maintenance, but there is an ongoing debate about its underlying drivers.
