Mitochondrial Genome Diversity in Collembola: Phylogeny, Dating and Gene Order

Diversity, 2019
Collembola (springtails) are an early diverging class of apterygotes, and mark the first substantial radiation of hexapods on land. Despite extensive work, the relationships between major collembolan lineages are still debated and, apart from the Early ...

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Micro Gondwana: soil and litter mesofauna in the subalpine and alpine of North‐West Nelson, southern New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 944-966, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Invasive giant river prawns as opportunistic, generalist predators in the Amazon Delta: Insights from metabarcoding

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Invasive species alter habitats and biological communities. The giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man 1879) was introduced to Brazil for aquaculture, and invasive populations have established in the Amazon Delta region where they are believed to pose a risk to the native aquatic fauna.

StrataSeq: A Workflow for Rapid Development of Molecular Databases for Hard‐To‐Identify Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Biodiversity loss calls for better monitoring of small, species‐rich taxa, such as soil invertebrates, but traditional methods are limited due to complex morphology and lack of expertise. DNA‐based approaches offer a solution, but their effectiveness depends on incomplete molecular reference databases.

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

The Effect of Long‐Term Underlying Management on Soil Faunal Communities of a Newly Established Herbal Ley

Soil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 4, October‐December 2025.
ABSTRACT Soil ecosystems support a diverse range of life essential for a functioning soil. However, agricultural establishment methods like tillage intensity have been shown to directly affect soil fauna populations. Soil fauna diversity and abundance were investigated following a 10‐year experiment testing different crop establishment systems in an ...

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Spatial Patterns and Environmental Influences on Soil Surface Collembola in Forest and Non-Forest Ecosystems

Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management
Forests are one of the ecosystems with different habitat characteristics for certain species. The transition from forest to non-forest will affect the ecosystem and its resident species.
