Positive Effects of Inter‐Row Vegetation on Soil Fauna and Organic Matter Decomposition in Mediterranean Vineyards

Soil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 3, July‐September 2025.
ABSTRACT Soil is a key compartment providing important ecosystem services for sustainable agriculture. Our study examined the effects of three inter‐row vegetation types on soil biological activity, mesofauna, and organic matter decomposition in 15 Mediterranean vineyards of South‐eastern France. The three vegetation types included inter‐rows sown with

Mixed forests with native species mitigate impacts of introduced Douglas fir on soil decomposers (Collembola)

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 3, April 2025.
Abstract Forest ecosystem management requires the conservation of associated biodiversity. Enriching native forests with economically valuable conifer species provides economic gains and meets the increasing societal demand for timber but may threaten biodiversity.

Effects of genetically modified maize MON810 on surface‐active springtails (Collembola)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 3, Page 207-217, March 2025.
We investigated the effects of Bt‐maize MON810 expressing the toxin Cry1Ab on nontarget invertebrates on the abundance and diversity of surface‐active springtails in the temperate region of Central Europe (western Slovakia) from 2012 to 2014 in 10 plots planted with Bt and 10 with the near‐isogenic non‐Bt event DK440. The usual fertilizer and herbicide

Functional traits of plant roots and Collembola determine their tri‐trophic interactions with soil microbes

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 462-477, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Traditionally, leaf litter has been recognized as the main driver of the soil food web, but more recently roots have been shown to play an important role in fuelling soil organisms.

Unexpected diversity in Neelipleona revealed by molecular phylogeny approach (Hexapoda, Collembola)

Soil Organisms, 2011
Neelipleona are the smallest of the four Collembola orders in term of species number with 35 species described worldwide (out of around 8000 known Collembola). Despite this apparent poor diversity, Neelipleona have a worldwide repartition. The fact that

Optimizing eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Assessing Arthropod Communities in Tree‐Related Microhabitats

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
This study highlights the significance of using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to study forest arthropods associated with tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs) and deadwood. We find that our tree surface sampling effectively captured ecologically significant arthropods associated with TreMs, exhibiting overlap with other deadwood sediment samples ...

First Species of Collophora (Collembola: Symphypleona: Collophoridae) from Brazil, with Comments on its Distribution

, 2013
A new species of springtail (Symphypleona, Collophoridae), Collophora brasilis sp. nov., is described, the first species known from Brazil. The species is distributed from the coastal region to the semi-arid region in northeastern Brazil.

Órdenes Poduromorpha, Entomobryomorpha, Neelipleona y Symphypleona

, 2015
Se presenta el Taxón Collembola (Arthropoda, Hexapoda). Los colémbolos tienen algunas características que nos permiten aparentemente reconocerlos como insectos salvo por la ausencia de alas y la presencia de apéndices abdominales (quedará claro más adelante que los colémbolos no son insectos, sino una Clase al nivel de los Insecta dentro de la ...
