Latitudinal distribution and mitochondrial DNA (COI) variability of Stereotydeus spp. (Acari: Prostigmata) in Victoria Land and the central Transantarctic Mountains [PDF]
We examined mitochondrial DNA (COI) variability and distribution of Stereotydeus spp. in Victoria Land and the Transantarctic Mountains, and constructed Neighbour Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees using all publicly available ...

The springtail, Megaphorura arctica, is freeze-avoiding and survives sub-zero temperatures by cryoprotective dehydration. At the onset of dehydration there is some supercooling of body fluids, and the danger of inoculative freezing, which would be lethal.

Genomic evidence of paternal genome elimination in the globular springtail Allacma fusca
Paternal genome elimination (PGE) - a type of reproduction in which males inherit but fail to pass on their father’s genome - evolved independently in six to eight arthropod clades.

Springtail-inspired superomniphobic surface with extreme pressure resistance
First springtail-inspired omniphobic surface by hierarchical structure to repel liquids even with high pressure of droplets. Both high static repellency and pressure resistance are critical to achieving a high-performance omniphobic surface. The cuticles

New recorded species of Heteraphorura Bagnall, 1948 (Collembola: Onychiuridae) from Georgia with a key to the Holarctic species [PDF]
One springtail species, Heteraphorura iranica Kaprus’, Shayanmehr et Kahrarian, 2017 is recorded from the Caucasus for the first time. A key to the Holarctic species of the genus Heteraphorura Bagnall, 1948 including H. magnina (Wray, 1950) is given.
