Impact of forest disturbance on microarthropod communities depends on underlying ecological gradients and species traits
Published 2023-10-01“…Here we used DNA metabarcoding approach to study wind-induced disturbances on forest communities of springtails and soil mites. In particular, we aimed to test the effect of forest soil disturbance on the abundance, richness, species composition, and functional guilds of microarthropods. …”

Exploring the Potential Hormonal Effects of Tire Polymers (TPs) on Different Species Based on a Theoretical Computational Approach
Published 2023-03-01“…The organisms included freshwater species (freshwater nematodes, snails, shrimp, and freshwater fish), marine species (marine nematodes, mussels, crab, and marine fish), and soil species (soil nematodes, springtails, earthworms, and spiders). A multilevel empowerment method was used to determine the bio-toxicity of the TPs in various environmental media. …”

Mapping 50 years of contribution to the development of soil quality biological indicators
Published 2023-04-01“…Our review showed 25 biological indicators with the highest occurrence; for example, microbial biomass (118), enzymatic activity (90), and organic matter (78); other indicators, such as earthworms, nematodes, or springtails, are also reported. All indicators showed relationships, to a greater or lesser extent, with soil biodiversity and its functions in the landscape. …”

Feeding design in free-living mesostigmatid chelicerae (Acari: Anactinotrichida)
Published 2021“…Veigaia species with low chelal velocity ratio and other morphological strengthening specialisms, appear specially adapted in a concerted way for predating active soft and fast moving springtails (Collembola). Veigaia cerva shows a markedly bigger chelal gape than its cheliceral reach would proportionately infer suggesting it is a crocodile-like sit-and-wait or ambush predator par excellence. …”

Soil fauna (Lumbricidae, Collembola, Diplopoda and Chilopoda) as indicators of soil eco-subsystem development in post-mining sites of eastern Germany – a review
Published 2009-07-01“…The study of colonisation behaviour typical of 113 species of Collembola indicated that there were eight different colonisation groups of springtails that were useful in characterising different stages of mine-site development. …”
