Evolutionary, Functional and Mechanistic Characterisation of Microbial Terpene Synthase‐Like Genes From Springtails [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 41, 5 October 2026.A genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.

Proteomic Responses of the Springtail Folsomia candida to Drought [PDF]
InsectsSpringtails are adapted to life in the pore space of soil, where humidity in moist soil is close to saturation. Drought is the most important limiting factor for springtails; however, their molecular and physiological adaptations to low humidity are not ...

Between Mosses and Microbes: Stable Isotopes (15N/14N, 13C/12C) Clarify the Trophic Niches of Oribatid Mites on a High‐Arctic Permafrost Archipelago (Svalbard, Norway) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Using stable isotopes (15N, 13C) we identified four trophic groups of oribatid mites (phytophagous, secondary decomposers, predators/scavengers and lichen feeders) on Svalbard; primary decomposers were missing, pointing to low litter quality. Most oribatid mite taxa were boreal/tundra habitat specialists with strong sclerotization which likely improves

Addition to Iranian Springtails fauna and a checklist of the Collembola from Kurdistan province [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2023 The study was conducted in oak forests and the conifer stands in Marivan county located in west of Kurdistan province. The leaf litter and soils samples from these forests were taken during 2016 to 2019 and specimens were extracted by the Berlese funnels.

The impact of roosting birds on the abundance of two groups of soil mesofauna
Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2012 The aim of the study was to assess the influence of corvid urban roosts on the abundance of two groups of soil mesofauna: mites and springtails. Two areas located in the city of Warsaw were taken into consideration, one subjected to winter roosting ...
