Smart Skin Patterns Protect Springtails
PLoS ONE, 2011 Springtails, arthropods who live in soil, in decaying material, and on plants, have adapted to demanding conditions by evolving extremely effective and robust anti-adhesive skin patterns. However, details of these unique properties and their structural basis are still unknown. Here we demonstrate that collembolan skin can resist wetting by many organic

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 676-688, March 2026.ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

Can Hawaiian carnivorous caterpillars attack invasive ants or vice versa? [PDF]
, 2010 The Hawaiian Islands have allowed insects to evolve unique habits, because the islands are isolated and originally lacked predators, such as ants and wasps.

Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity: A Review
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity has become a major concern in the 21st century. The current agricultural model is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss; however, agriculture can also help maintain and even promote biodiversity. Therefore, the understanding of the consequences of agricultural practices on the different compartments of ...
