Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

The First Cavernicolous Species of Arrhopalites (Collembola, Symphypleona, Arrhopalitidae) from China and Its Phylogenetic Position

Insects
Arrhopalites Börner, 1906 includes 40 valid species, with 20 considered troglobionts, exclusive to caves. Arrhopalites beijingensis sp. nov. is the third species from China and the first from a cave habitat, collected in the Xianrendong Cave, Beijing ...

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Ecological functions of fungal sesquiterpenes in the food preference and fitness of soil Collembola

Royal Society Open Science
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by fungi play a key role in locating and selecting hosts for fungivorous arthropods. However, the ecological functions of many common VOC classes, such as sesquiterpenes, remain unknown.

An annotated checklist of springtails (Hexapoda, Collembola) from Vojvodina province, Republic of Serbia [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2023
Based on all collected literature dealing with the fauna of springtails in Vojvodina Province (Republic of Serbia), a list of species was created and taxonomically revised according to the latest system of Collembola taxonomy. In total, the check list of

Evaluating the efficacy of tagging adhesives for insect tracking

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 515-521, August 2026.
Two‐part epoxy resin delivered the strongest RFID tag adhesion on carabid beetles, exceeding polyvinyl acetate, cosmetic latex and cyanoacrylate adhesives. Adhesive performance was consistent across Harpalus, Leistus and Poecilus; species effects were non‐significant, supporting a broadly applicable protocol for carabid RFID tagging studies.

Functional Assemblages of Collembola Determine Soil Microbial Communities and Associated Functions

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Soil processes such as decomposition are mainly performed by soil biota. Although soils worldwide are extremely biodiverse, the relationship between decomposers (fauna and microorganisms), and ecosystem function is poorly understood.

Swine Manure‐Derived Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Frass Enhances Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) Vegetative Growth and Soil Epigeic Macro‐Arthropod Abundance

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 945-954, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of swine production has increased environmental concerns related to nutrient pollution and improper manure management. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae offer a promising bioconversion approach, producing frass that may serve as a sustainable organic fertiliser.

Long term effect of fire, flood and grazing on invertebrates in Australia’s arid zone: Collembola and Formicidae

Soil Organisms, 2023
An extensive fire followed almost immediately by a large scale flood occurred in the semi-arid/arid Olary Creek area in southwest New South Wales. In order to monitor the short and long term effect of these extreme events on vegetation, replicate paired
