Springtail coloration at a finer scale: mechanisms behind vibrant collembolan metallic colours

Journal of the Royal Society Interface, 2021
The mechanisms and evolution of metallic structural colours are of both fundamental and applied interest, yet most work in arthropods has focused on derived butterflies and beetles with distinct hues. In particular, basal hexapods—groups with many scaled,

The amount of mulch increases the abundance, and its composition the species diversity of springtails in crop rotation on chernozem soils

Soil Organisms, 2023
Mulching is widely used in agriculture to improve soil structure and agrochemical parameters. This is especially true for agroecosystems of steppe chernozems with strong wind erosion and occasional drought.

Impact of the springtail's cuticle nanotopography on bioadhesion and biofilm formation in vitro and in the oral cavity [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Springtails (Collembola) have a nanostructured cuticle. To evaluate and to understand anti-biofouling properties of springtail cuticles’ morphology under different conditions, springtails, shed cuticles and cuticle replicates were studied after ...
