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.

On latches in biological systems: a comparative morphological and functional study of the retinaculum and the dens lock in Collembola. [PDF]
Front Zool, 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.

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.

Two New Species of Pararrhopalites (Collembola: Symphypleona: Sminthuridae) in Brazil.
Florida Entomologist, 2014 Two new species of springtails (Symphypleona: Sminthuridae), Pararrhopalites sideroicus sp. nov. and Pararrhopalites palaciosi sp. nov. are described. The species come from very different environments, the first is a cave dweller in iron caves and the ...

The Evolution of Collembola Higher Taxa (Arthropoda, Hexapoda) Based on Mitogenome Data
Diversity, 2022 Mitogenomes represent useful tools for investigating the phylogeny of many metazoan clades. Regarding Collembola, the use of mitogenomics has already shown promising results, but few published works include sufficient taxon sampling to study its ...
