Springboards for springtails [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2002
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

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 202-211, March 2026.
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.

Development of Collembolans after coversion towards organic farming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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.

The complete mitogenome of the springtail Tullbergia bisetosa: a subterranean springtail from the sub-Antarctic region

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Tullbergia bisetosa is a springtail (Collembola) native to the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands. Unlike most other springtails, it has acquired a euedaphic (living within the soil) life form.

Testing use of mitochondrial COI sequences for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of New Zealand caddisflies (Trichoptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
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
