Standardized Protocols for Soil Fauna Extraction and a Call for Cross‐Lab Implementation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present harmonized methodologies, assembled by an international group of experts, for extracting soil‐ and litter‐inhabiting nematodes, enchytraeids, microarthropods, and larger invertebrates. The protocols are illustrated with images and videos, and include advice for overcoming the most frequent issues (’expert tips’) for increasing extraction ...

Springtails in space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The relative influence of environmental conditions, biotic interactions and dispersal limitation for community structure and diversity patterns is a reoccurring theme in community ecology. In studies of soil fauna communities, small-scale horizontal and vertical variations in environmental variables and biotic interactions have often been disregarded ...
