On latches in biological systems: a comparative morphological and functional study of the retinaculum and the dens lock in Collembola [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2023 Background Springtails have the ability to jump using morphological structures consisting of a catapult, the furca, and a latching system constructed with interaction of the retinaculum and the dens lock.

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 [PDF]
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,

Trophic niche differentiation and utilisation of food resources in Collembola is altered by rainforest conversion to plantation systems [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Intensively managed monoculture plantations are increasingly replacing natural forests across the tropics resulting in changes in ecological niches of species and communities, and in ecosystem functioning.

Phylomitogenomic analyses on collembolan higher taxa with enhanced taxon sampling and discussion on method selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Collembola are a basal group of Hexapoda renowned for both unique morphological characters and significant ecological roles. However, a robust and plausible phylogenetic relationship between its deeply divergent lineages has yet to be achieved.

Evolutionary, Functional and Mechanistic Characterisation of Microbial Terpene Synthase-Like Genes From Springtails. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglA genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.
