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 ...

Diatom and microarthropod communities of three airfields in Estonia – Their differences and similarities and possible linkages to airfield properties [PDF]

, 2018
Even though airfields, which are often anthropologically modified natural areas, are continuously influenced by human activities, their soils are still dynamic ecosystems containing various habitats for microscopic groups of organisms which are

Identification of Birds through DNA Barcodes [PDF]

, 2004
Short DNA sequences from a standardized region of the genome provide a DNA barcode for identifying species. Compiling a public library of DNA barcodes linked to named specimens could provide a new master key for identifying species, one whose power will ...

Effects of soil regeneration methods on beneficial mesofauna in a spring triticale field [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2017
The aim of the study was to determine possible changes in the abundance and species diversity of soil dwelling springtails (Collembola) and mites (Acari) due to different conditioners and soil regeneration methods applied on a spring triticale ...

Neelipleona and Symphypleona (Collembola) from a Sampling in the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Madrid and Segovia, Spain): Taxonomy and Biogeography

Insects, 2021
Megalothorax minimus (Neelidae) and Sphaeridia pumilis (Sminthurididae) had already been identified in surface sampling from Sierra de Guadarrama. In Europe, Sminthurinus gisini (Katiannidae) seems to be associated with environments at specific altitudes,

MODELING THE DYNAMICS OF SPECIES NUMBERS IN COLLEMBOLA COMMUNITIES

Вопросы лесной науки
The population dynamics of springtails is considered based on long-term surveys. The analysis was performed using data on the total population springtails density of three functional groups.

High levels of intraspecific genetic divergences revealed for Antarctic springtails: evidence for small-scale isolation during Pleistocene glaciation [PDF]

, 2016
We examined levels of genetic variability within and among populations of three Antarctic springtail species (Arthropoda: Collembola) and tested the hypothesis that genetic divergences occur among glacially-isolated habitats.

Specific and Intraspecific Diversity of Symphypleona and Neelipleona (Hexapoda: Collembola) in Southern High Appalachia (USA)

Diversity, 2022
Collembola, commonly known as springtails, are important detritivores, abundant in leaf litter and soil globally. Springtails are wingless hexapods with many North American species having wide distributions ranging from as far as Alaska to Mexico.
