Soil microplastics inhibit the movement of springtail species
Environment International, 2019 Previous studies have indicated the means by which micro-sized plastic particles may affect the soil environment, and this could be linked to the behavior of plastics in the soil system and how these particles are influenced by biological responses. Soil-

The role of glacier mice in the invertebrate colonisation of glacial surfaces: the moss balls of the Falljökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2012 Glacier surfaces have a surprisingly complex ecology. Cryoconite holes contain diverse invertebrate communities while other invertebrates, such as Collembola often graze on algae and windblown dead organic on the glacier surface.

Biodiversity Impact of Green Roofs and Constructed Wetlands as Progressive Eco-Technologies in Urban Areas [PDF]
, 2019 The total amount of sealed surfaces is increasing in many urban areas, which presents a challenge for sewerage systems and wastewater treatment plants when extreme rainfall events occur. One promising solution approach is the application of decentralized

Springtails—Worldwide Jumpers [PDF]
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2020 Springtails are tiny, six-legged animals that you meet every day, but hardly notice. They can survive in big cities, on ice in Antarctica, in the deepest caves, and in rainforest canopies. Some scientists call them the earliest known and the most numerous insects on Earth.
