Makiling, Philippines were determined, this being the first study conducted on springtail diversity along an elevational gradient and also the first published report of canopy arthropods in the Philippines. Springtails were extracted from soil samples from the floor and those suspended in the canopy of three natural forests at different elevations (tropical lowland evergreen rainforest, lower montane rainforest, and tropical upper montane forest). We predict that elevation and forest strata will have significant effects on the springtail assemblages. A total of 2,287 springtails representing 31 morpho-species and eight families were collected from the study. Across the elevation gradient, mean species richness and mean abundance consistently decrease as elevation increases, but only the mean abundance of the lowland forest is significantly different from that of the lower and upper montane forests. Diversity t-test (p-values less than 0.05) revealed significant differences between different sites and strata. Clustering analysis using the Bray-Curtis similarity index revealed separate groupings of the lowland forests to those of the montane forests. Lastly, the results of PERMANOVA showed that both elevation and strata were found to have significant effects on the overall assemblage of springtails. This study suggests that forest floor species assemblages are closely related to each other unlike those of the canopy, where only the upper montane and lower montane are similar. The results of this study affirm our main hypothesis that springtails (as a group) respond significantly to both elevation and strata in a tropical forest in the Philippines.

Significantly lower average temperatures in the scree profile were noted at the gorge bottom in both periods, meaning that the site in the lower part of the scree, near the bank of creek, was considerably colder and wetter compared to the warmer and drier site at upper part of the scree slope. Relatively high diversity of Collembola was observed at two fieldwork scree sites, where cold-adapted species, considered climatic relicts, showed considerable abundance. The gorge bottom, with a cold and wet microclimate and high carbon content even in the deeper MSS horizons, provided suitable environmental conditions for numerous psychrophilic and subterranean species. Ecological groups such as trogloxenes and subtroglophiles showed decreasing trends of abundance with depth, in contrast to eutroglophiles and a troglobiont showing an opposite distributional pattern at scree sites in both periods.

  • (Collembola) in Meadows, Pastures and Road Verges in Central Finland
    © Entomologica Fennica. 29 August 2017 Springtails (Collembola) in meadows, pastures and road verges in Central Finland Atte Komonen* & Saana Kataja-aho Komonen, A. & Kataja-aho, S. 2017: Springtails (Collembola) in meadows, pas- tures and road verges in Central Finland. — Entomol. Fennica 28: 157–163. Understanding of species distribution, abundance and habitat affinities is crucial for red-list assessment, conservation and habitat management. In Central Fin- land, we studied Collembola in three habitat types, namely non-grazed meadows, pastures and road verges using pitfall traps. Altogether, 9,630 Collembola indi- viduals were recorded. These belonged to 12 families, 34 genera and 60 species. The number of specimens was clearly higher in meadows than in pastures or road verges. The number of species, however, was higher in meadows and road verges (40 and 39 species, respectively) than in pastures (33 species). The overall spe- cies number is comparable to other large-scale sampling schemes in similar habi- tats. We recorded a few abundant species (Spatulosminthurus flaviceps, Smin- thurus viridis and Sminthurus nigromaculatus) that have been previously re- corded from very different biotopes. In conclusion, biodiversity inventories of soil fauna, as well as other biota, should also include marginal habitats, which of- ten host peculiar communities. A.

  • New Lepidocyrtus Bourlet, 1839 Taxa from Greece (Collembola: Entomobryidae)

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Published data on genus Lepidocyrtus from Greece are scarce, being L. ligonorum the most common species in the region. In this paper the analysis of several populations of Lepidocyrtus from four Greek islands has allowed to describe the new species L. juliae sp. nov. and L. barbulus sp. nov. These new taxa were previously described as a color form and chaeto- taxic variety of L. lignorum respectively in Greece. Along with other seven European species, the two new described taxa form the "Lepidocyrtus lignorum group", defined by the dorsal macrochaetae formula R0R1R2/00/0101+3 (with or without cephalic macrochaeta So). An identification key has been developed for differentiating all species of this group. With the new described taxa the number of Lepidocyrtus species present in Greece increases to five, and the total European Lepi- docyrtus species increases to 29. Key words: Lepidocyrtus lignorum group, taxonomy, new species, chaetotaxy, identification key Resumen Los datos publicados sobre el género Lepidocyrtus en Grecia son muy escasos, siendo L. ligonorum la especie más común en la región.

The University of Michigan had a few vials of specimens determined by Harlow B. Mills, and a modest num- ber was in the Robert R. Dreisbach collection at Midland, Michigan. At the beginning of my investigation very little was known about the order in Michigan, although monographs had been written on the collembolan faunae of the nearby states of Minnesota (Guthrie, 1903), Iowa (Mills, 1934) and New York (Maynard, 1951).

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science
    A Check List of Indiana Collembola John W. Hart, Earlham College Abstract Several entomologists have studied Indiana Collembola. Most of their findings have not been published. This checklist includes all species known from the state at this time. Hoosier entomologists have shown little interest in the Collembolan insects. Eight species were known from the state when Wilkey (15) reported 21 new records in his taxonomic study of a small area in central western Indiana. Pedigo (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) contributed substantially to both the bionomic and taxonomic knowledge of the Collembolan fauna. Springtails are flightless insects and restricted for the most part to a life on or in damp soil, under bark, or on water surfaces. In a few instances they are found on growing plants. Only a few different kinds of habitats, involving a limited number of soil types and a small geographi- cal area, were investigated in finding the 69 species and forms and 40 genera reported herein. Far more study is indicated if we are to know the true distribution of this order in Indiana. Considering the multitude of possibilities for introduction of Col- lembola from other states (or even other nations) one may conclude that given satisfactory growing conditions, any species might be found in almost any place. In fact, introduction is often effected in a package of "home soil" making survival quite probable. Scott (14), in his study of springtails of New Mexico, reported 28 of the species and forms noted in this check list. Of the 28 reported by Scott (14), 26 were also found in New York by Maynard (5).

We hypothesized that spatial and phylogenetic 4 patterns influence communities in a hump-backed fashion, maximizing their impact at 5 intermediate spatial and phylogenetic distances.
