Main, Charlene Janion-Scheepers, Arsalan Emami-Khoyi, Louis Deharveng, Anne Bedos, Mikhail Potapov, Shilpa P. Parbhu, Johannes J. Le Roux, Peter R. Teske, Bettine Jansen van Vuuren

“…Evaluating selective pressures on mitochondrial genes can provide functional and ecological insights into the evolution of organisms. Collembola (springtails) are an ancient hexapod group that includes the oldest terrestrial arthropods in the fossil record, and that are closely associated with soil environments. …”

Multi-community effects of organic and conventional farming practices in vineyards by Noémie Ostandie, Brice Giffard, Olivier Bonnard, Benjamin Joubard, Sylvie Richart-Cervera, Denis Thiéry, Adrien Rusch

“…Organic farming enhanced the abundances of springtails (+ 31.6%) and spiders (+ 84%), had detrimental effects on pollinator abundance (− 11.6%) and soil microbial biomass (− 9.1%), and did not affect the abundance of ground beetles, mites or microarthropods. …”

Mating and aggregative behaviors among basal hexapods in the Early Cretaceous. by Alba Sánchez-García, Enrique Peñalver, Xavier Delclòs, Michael S Engel

“…These occurrences are phylogenetically spaced across the class, and from species representing the two major clades of springtails-Symphypleona and Entomobryomorpha. Specifically, we report unique evidence from a symphypleonan male (Pseudosminthurides stoechus Sánchez-García & Engel, 2016) with modified antennae that may have functioned as a clasping organ for securing females during mating on water's surface, and from an aggregation of entomobryomorphan individuals (Proisotoma communis Sánchez-García & Engel, 2016) purportedly representing a swarming episode on the forest floor. …”

Nest Architecture and Animals Associated with Neoponera verenae (Forel) (Formicidae, Ponerinae) by Hugo Ribeiro Moleiro, Adolfo da Silva-Melo, Edilberto Giannotti

“…The associated species encountered in the nests were collected and identified allowing us to obtain new records of visiting (Linepithema sp., cryptodesmid millipedes and Neotropacarus sp.) and prey taxa (membracids, apid bees and springtails) of N. verenae. Generally, nests had a single entrance hole and a depth of up to 42 cm. …”

Diversity, plasticity and asynchrony of actuarial and reproductive senescence in the Collembola Folsomia candida (Willem, 1902) by Thomas Tully

“…We found clear evidence of actuarial and reproductive senescence, especially when the springtails were fully fed. Clutch size increased as female become older and then declined progressively after reproduction reached a maximum. …”

Excretion of nitrogenous waste by soil fauna and assessment of the contribution to soil nitrogen pools by Birgit Lang, David J. Russell

“…To this end, we review the current state of knowledge on the excretion of nitrogenous waste by soil fauna, focusing on earthworms, enchytraeids, nematodes, springtails, mites, isopods and myriapods. This includes an overview on excretory organs and products, a summary of quantitative measurements of nitrogen excretion and the factors that influence nitrogen excretion. …”
