Species of beetle and spider were sampled almost 51 exclusively from single islands, while soil dwelling Collembola exhibited more than 52 tenfold higher species sharing among islands. Comparison of Collembola mitochondrial 53 metagenomic dataFor to a database Review of more than 80,000 Only Collembola barcode sequences 54 revealed almost 30% of sampled island species are genetically identical, or near 55 identical, to individuals sampled from often very distant geographic regions of the 56 world. Patterns of mtDNA relatedness among Collembola implicate human-mediated 57 species introductions, with minimum estimates for the proportion of introduced species 58 on the sampled islands ranging from 45-88%. Our results call for more attention to soil 59 mesofauna to understand the global extent and ecological consequences of species 60 introductions. Page 3 of 28 Molecular Ecology 3 61 Introduction 62 63 To understand soil ecosystem functioning, with reference to phenomena that extend 64 beyond soil itself, such as potential cascading effects across trophic levels or the impact 65 of introduced and potentially invasive non-native species on ecosystem processes (e.g. 66 Ehrenfeld 2010; Wardle et al. 2004; Yang et al. 2009), advances are needed to bridge the 67 gap between belowground and aboveground terrestrial systems. However, such 68 advances are limited by the paucity of biodiversity data for soil, which has been referred 69 to as the “third bioticFor frontier”, Review along with tropical Onlyforest canopies and ocean abysses 70 (André et al. 1994). Forest soils are especially challenging, as a single square metre of 71 temperate forest soil may contain more than 1000 species of invertebrates, most of 72 which are less than 2mm in length (Schaefer & Schauermann 1990). Much of the 73 invertebrate species diversity of soil remains uncatalogued, meaning that there is 74 probably no soil where we are able to identify, or even quantify all resident 75 invertebrates (Decaëns 2010; Wall et al. 2005). This lack of primary data on species 76 identity complicates the study and measurement of soil invertebrate biodiversity, which 77 is critically needed as the taxonomic composition of an ecosystem determines the 78 diversity of forms and functions. This functional component of biodiversity, which acts 79 as a key driver of ecosystem functioning (Violle et al. 2015), and this is likely to be of 80 great importance in soil ecosystems (Bardgett & Van der Putten 2014; Dominati et al. 81 2010; Heemsbergen et al. 2004; Lavelle et al. 2006). 82 For more than a decade, it has been recognised that DNA sequence analysis can 83 provide some relief to the taxonomic impediment – the limitation to science imposed by 84 the difficulty in identifying living species, most of which remain undescribed (Gaston 85 1991; Lomolino et al. 2010). The original methods for DNA barcoding (Hebert et al. 86 2003) have been developed into powerful and effective metabarcoding protocols that 87 are particularly well-suited for analysing species-rich assemblages of taxa like 88 invertebrates (e.g. Ramírez-González et al. 2013; Yu et al. 2012). More recently, shotgun 89 metagenomic sequencing of mixed insect species templates, with a particular focus on 90 beetle phylogenetics, has yielded numerous reads corresponding to the mitochondrial 91 DNA (mtDNA) genome that can be assembled into full or partial mitogenomes (Andújar 92 et al. 2015; Crampton-Platt et al. 2015; Gillett et al. 2014; Gómez-Rodríguez et al. 2015; Molecular Ecology Page 4 of 28 4 93 Tang et al. 2014). It has been pointed out that, in addition to phylogenetic 94 reconstruction, such extensive mtDNA genome data also offer great potential for 95 understanding how community assembly and structure influence functioning in 96 ecosystems by providing a powerful way to reveal biodiversity that was previously 97 “invisible” (Andújar et al. 2015). 98 Here we employ mitochondrial metagenomics to compare soil-dwelling and 99 aboveground arthropod communities sampled across three remote oceanic 100 archipelagos, two of which are located in the northern Atlantic (Canary Islands and 101 Azores) and the thirdFor (Mascarene Review Islands) being locOnlyated in the southwestern Indian 102 Ocean. For soil-dwelling arthropods we focus on the ubiquitous and dominant soil 103 mesofaunal taxon Collembola. Species identification of Collembola is complicated by (i) 104 small adult size that can typically range between 0.2 - 2 mm (Decaëns 2010), (ii) 105 pervasive cryptic species (Emerson et al. 2011) that can result in underestimates of 106 morphologically-derived species richness by more than an order of magnitude 107 (Cicconardi et al. 2013; Cicconardi et al. 2010), and (iii) changes in adult morphology 108 attributable to ecomorphosis, epitoky and cyclomorphosis (Hopkin 1997). 109 Metabarcoding has previously been used to suggest that a substantial proportion 110 of the Collembola fauna of the Canary Island of Tenerife is of recent origin (Ramírez- 111 González et al. 2013). However, the limited mtDNA sequence length of 220bp obtained 112 by Ramírez-González et al. (2013) resulted in taxonomic uncertainty for many 113 sequences, rendering quantitative comparisons of taxonomic relatedness unreliable. We 114 address this limitation by using a mitochondrial metagenomic approach to first robustly 115 assign DNA sequences to the class Collembola by means of phylogenetic analysis, and 116 then evaluate their distribution limits beyond the island where they were sampled. We 117 sample soil Collembola communities from forest ecosystems on the islands of Tenerife 118 (Canary Islands), Terceira (Azores) and Réunion (Mascarene Islands). We first compare 119 sharing of Collembola species among islands, placing our results into context by also 120 sampling and comparing aboveground arthropod communities

Penelope Greenslade1, 2 1 Environmental Management, School of School of Health and Life Sciences, Federation University, Ballarat, Victoria 3353, Australia 2 Department of Biology, Australian National University, GPO Box, Australian Capital Territory 0200, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Received 17 October 2018 | Accepted 23 November 2018 Published online at www.soil-organisms.de 1 December 2018 | Printed version 15 December 2018 DOI 10.25674/y9tz-1d49 Abstract Native invertebrate assemblages in Australia are adversely impacted by invasive exotic plants because they are replaced by exotic, invasive invertebrates. The reasons have remained obscure. The different physical, chemical and biotic characteristics of the novel habitat seem to present hostile conditions for native species. This results in empty niches. It seems the different ecologies of exotic invertebrate species may be better adapted to colonise these novel empty niches than native invertebrates. Native faunas of other southern continents that possess a highly endemic fauna, such as South America, South Africa and New Zealand, may have suffered the same impacts from exotic species but insufficient survey data and unreliable and old taxonomy makes this uncertain. Here I attempt to discover what particular characteristics of these novel habitats are hostile to native invertebrates. I chose the Collembola as a target taxon. They are a suitable group because the Australian collembolan fauna consists of a high percentage of endemic taxa, but also exotic, non-native, species. Most exotic Collembola species in Australia appear to have originated from Europe, where they occur at low densities (Fjellberg 1997, 2007).

    Tekirdağ Ziraat Fakültesi Dergisi The Special Issue of 2nd International Balkan Agriculture Congress Journal of Tekirdag Agricultural Faculty May 16-18, 2017 Collembola Communities in Different Compost Types as Bioindicator of Substrate Quality Lilyana KOLEVA*, Milena YORDANOVA, Georgi DIMITROV University of Forestry, Sofia, Bulgaria *Corresponding author: [email protected] Geliş Tarihi (Received): 01.03.2017 Kabul Tarihi (Accepted): 15.04.2017 Collembolans are a good indicator of the degree of mineralization and humification of the soil. Their ecological characteristics, habitat and feeding type can help the analysis of composting processes and determining the quality of the resulting substrate. A particular interest is the potential antagonistic effect of compost on soil plant euedaphic life forms pathogens and phytophagous arthropods.The aim of this study was to establish the quality differences between the four types of mature compost by studying the structure of Collembola communities in them. The investigations were carried out with two substrates composed of forest wastes and two substrates composed of agricultural wastes. The difference between the compost types was the origin and size of the substrate particles. The results were obtained by field and laboratory studies. In the studied composts, the identified species were hemiedaphic, euedaphic and atmobiont. Hemiedaphic life forms dominated in the compost of agricultural wastes. The have the highest density into the compost of forest wastes. With regard to food sources the collembolans established species were divided into three ecological functional groups: herbivores, predators and detritivores. The groups of predators and herbivores were the smallest, and the most numerous were the detritivores. The detritivores population was established in high population density in the compost of forest wastes.

  • (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.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Natural History Museum, Mols Laboratory, Strandkaervej 6-8, Femmøller, DK8400 Ebeltoft (Denmark). E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Lepidocyrtus was up to now represented by two species in Sardinia. However, recent molecular data suggest the existence of several other species in the region. The study of a Lepidocyrtus population from the peninsula of Capo Caccia (NW Sardinia) has allowed the description of the species Lepidocyrtus apicalis sp. nov. Along with seven other European species, the new species constitute the “Lepidocyrtus curvicollis group”, characterized by the presence of scales on the antenna, legs and dorsal side of manubrium, by having the mesothorax more or less protruded, labial seta M1 shorter than M2, presence of seta s on abd.IV, and by the dorsal macrochaetae formula R0R1sR1So/00/0101+3. An identification key has been developed for differentiating all species of this group. With the new species the number of Lepidocyrtus spe- cies present in Sardinia increases to three and the number of total European Lepidocyrtus species to 30. Key words: taxonomy, chaetotaxy, species key Resumen El género Lepidocyrtus está representado en Cerdeña por dos especies, aunque recientes datos moleculares sugieren la existencia de varias especies más en la región.

Blumenbach Institute of Zoology and Anthropology, University of Go¨ttingen, Go¨ttingen, Germany 3 Institut de Syste´matique, Evolution, Biodiversite´, ISYEB—UMR 7205—CNRS, MNHN, UPMC, EPHE, Sorbonne Universite´s, Museum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France ABSTRACT Species classification is challenging when taxa display limited morphological differences. In this paper, we combined morphology and DNA barcode data to investigate the complicated taxonomy of two Onychiurid Collembolan species. Thalassaphorura thalassophila and Thalassaphorura debilis are among the most common arthropod species in intertidal ecosystems and are often considered to be synonymous. Based on morphological and barcode analyses of fresh material collected in their type localities, we redescribed and compared the two species. However, their morphological distinctiveness was supported by a molecular divergence much smaller than previously reported at the interspecific level among Collembola. This divergence was even smaller than inter-population divergences recognized in the related edaphic species T. zschokkei, as well as those known between MOTUs within many Collembolan species. Our results may indicate a link between low genetic interspecific

  • Systematic Composition and Distribution of Australian Cave
    Helictite, (2002) 38(1): pp. 11-15 Systematic composition and distribution of Australian cave collembolan faunas with notes on exotic taxa Penelope Greenslade Division of Botany and Zoology, Australian National University, GPO Box, ACT 0200, Australia Abstract Collembola (springtails) have been collected from caves in Tasmania, northwestern Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland more intensively in recent years than in the past. A sharp boundary in the composition of faunas of southern and northern Australia was found with the highest diversity of troglobitic forms in southeastern Australia and Tasmania. No extreme examples of troglobitic genera have yet been found in Western Australia. A single record of Cyphoderopsis was made from Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, a common genus in caves in Sumatra. The Jenolan cave system has been most completely sampled with nearly 100 samples from fourteen caves. This system contains over twenty species of which three genera, Adelphoderia, Oncopodura and a new genus near Kenyura, are exclusively troglobitic with locally endemic species of conservation and phylogenetic interest. Compared with some Tasmanian caves, the Jenolan fauna appears to harbour more species that are likely to have been introduced. Keywords: Collembola; caves; Australia; distribution. INTRODUCTION Australia has extensive cave-containing karst areas in carbonate rocks in all states. However, few karst areas have been systematically sampled for Collembola, Tasmania and eastern New South Wales being exceptions. Jenolan, in New South Wales, is currently the most intensively sampled cave system (Greenslade 1989) but Collembola have also been collected more widely from caves in New South Wales by Eberhard (1993a) Eberhard & Spate (1995) and from Tasmania by Eberhard et al.

We measured 15N and 13C enrichment in microarthropods Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), Netherlands through grazing rare isotope enriched fungal mycelia. Experimental treatments were Reviewed by: various combinations of 1, 2, 3, 4 microarthropods species. We used three fungivores Mark Maraun, (the collembolan Lepidocyrtus curvicollis, the Astigmata Tyrophagus putrescentiae, University of Göttingen, Germany Kerstin Heidemann, the Oribatida Oribatula tibialis), and the Mesostigmata predator Hypoaspis acquilifer. University of Göttingen, Germany We collected individuals of each species separately, as well as their feces, and *Correspondence: molt where available. All three fungivorous microarthropods consumed significantly Sina M. Adl more than their own body weight per day. The three fungivores differed in their [email protected] consumption of the mycelium as it was not equally palatable to each. The Mesostigmata
