Springboards for springtails [PDF]
Travel to overseas destinations is possible even for certain tiny land invertebrates. Although they cannot fly, the ocean is not an insuperable barrier because they can survive for longish periods in sea water.

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs
We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.

The mitochondrial genome of the springtail Bourletiella arvalis (Symphypleona, Collembola)
The complete mitochondrial genome of the springtail Bourletiella arvalis (Fitch, 1863) is herein described and applied to a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, inclusive of all the Collembola mitochondrial DNAs sequenced so far.

Urban Microfarms: Hot or Cold Spots for Plants and Soil Biodiversity?
Investigation of soil and plant biodiversity in urban microfarms on the ground and on rooftops. ABSTRACT Urban agriculture plays a key role in urban ecosystems functionality and resilience, and can take many forms: allotment gardens, community garden or urban microfarms.

Small-scale variations in spider and springtail assemblages between termite mounds and the surrounding grassland matrix [PDF]
The snouted harvester termite (Trinervitermes trinervoides (Sjöstedt, 1911)) is a widespread grass-eating termite species that constructs thermoregulated dome-shaped mounds.

Development of Collembolans after coversion towards organic farming [PDF]
In Northern Germany, a diverse and complex experimental farm of the Federal Agricultural Research Centre (FAL) was set-up in 2001 covering all main aspects of organic farming. Previously, the 600 ha farm had been managed conventionally.

Testing use of mitochondrial COI sequences for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of New Zealand caddisflies (Trichoptera) [PDF]
We tested the hypothesis that cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequences would successfully discriminate recognised species of New Zealand caddisflies. We further examined whether phylogenetic analyses, based on the COI locus, could recover currently
