Entomobrya petri sp. nov.: A new species of springtail found in the British Isles

Soil Organisms
A new species of elongate springtail (Collembola: Entomobryomorpha) is described from a churchyard in Edinburgh: Entomobrya petri sp. nov. Microscopic examination of specimens from another site in the UK supports that this new species represents the ...

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.

Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

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

New records of Seira dowlingi (Wray, 1953) (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Seirinae) for New World

Entomological Communications, 2019
Seira dowlingi (Wray, 1953) is recorded for the first time in Peru and Brazil from five states, including Fernando de Noronha archipelago plus a new record from United States. These new records support that S.

The Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 1002-1016, October 2026.
Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...

Monthly variation of leaf litter Collembola in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico

Soil Organisms, 2018
In order to evaluate leaf litter Collembola at the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, México, fifteen pitfall traps were activated monthly for about one week, in a new experimental area during 2015.

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

Soil Contamination Around the Copper Smelter and the Use of Soil Microarthropods as Bioindicators

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11384-11403, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil contamination from smelter emissions, including heavy metals (HM), rare earth elements (REEs), and sulfur, poses a significant threat to soil ecosystems. In the immediate vicinity of the Głogów Copper Smelter, HM concentrations were several times higher than in more distant forest stands.

Revalidation of Urewera Salmon, 1938 (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Entomobryinae)

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Here, we revise and revalidate the endemic New Zealand genus Urewera Salmon, 1938 stat. rev., providing a new diagnosis and assigning 14 species to the genus. The type species, Urewera fuchsiata Salmon, 1938 comb. rev., is redescribed based on type material and additional specimens from other localities.
