  • Why Are There So Many Exotic Springtails in Australia? a Review
    90 (3) · December 2018 pp. 141–156 Why are there so many exotic Springtails in Australia? A review. 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).

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • (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.

  • The Collembola of Antarctica1
    Pacific Insects Monograph 25: 57-74 20 March 1971 THE COLLEMBOLA OF ANTARCTICA1 By K. A. J. Wise2 Abstract: Subsequent to an earlier paper on Antarctic Collembola, further references and specimen locality records are given, and a new classification is used. Named species and definite distributions are combined in a definitive list of the Collembola of Antarctica. One new synonymy. Hypogastrura viatica (=H. antarctica), is recorded. Collections additional to those reported by Wise (1967) are recorded here, together with further information on some of the species, including one new synonymy. References in the synonymic lists are only those additional to the ones published in my previous paper. As in that paper, S. Orkney Is. and S. Sandwich Is. records are included here, but are excluded from the list of species in Antarctica. In addition to the Bishop Museum collections, specimens from collections of other institutions are recorded as follows: U.S. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution (USNM), British Museum (Nat. Hist.) (BMNH), British Antarctic Survey Biological Unit (BAS), and Canterbury University Antarctic Biology Unit (CUABU). The arrangement of figures and legends are as in Wise (1967). In specimen data a figure at the beginning of a group is the number of micro-slide specimens; a figure at the end, after the col­ lector's name, is the collector's site number. Classification Classification of the Antarctic species previously (Wise 1967) followed that of Salmon (1964) which radically changed some of the earlier classifications, separating some of the Suborder Arthropleona as distinct families in a new suborder, Neoarthropleona. Since then, Massoud (1967) has published a sound revision of the Neanuridae, in which he has sunk the Suborder Neoarthro­ pleona establishing the families recorded therein by Salmon as subfamilies or tribes in the Family Neanuridae.

Although a large number of Collembolan specimens had been collected, only Entomobryomorpha species were given emphasis. From 44 different sampled localities of the province of Ordu, we recorded 6 families, 14 genera, and 28 species. Six of these species were previously recorded and 20 of them are new records for Turkey. The results were not surprising, considering that the sampled region had not been studied previously, quite like many habitats in Turkey. With our 20 new records (Entomobryomorpha), the grand total of the springtail fauna of Turkey is increased to 73 species. This represents an increase of almost 40% of the current list of known species. These numbers show us that the diversity of Collembola in Turkey is not thoroughly known and it is clear that numerous species remain undiscovered or undescribed.

Fennica 30: 186195. doi: https://doi.org/10.33338/ef.87176 We report the presence of five Collembola species from western Poland, three of which were recorded in this country for the first time Bourletiella pistillum Gisin, 1964 (Bourletiellidae), Lepidocyrtus tellecheae Arbea & Jordana 1990 (Entomobryidae) and Isotoma caerulea Bourlet, 1839 (Isotomidae). Seira doll- fusi Carl, 1899 (Entomobryidae) was earlier known solely from a single, old re- port. Pachyotoma topsenti (Denis, 1948) (Isotomidae) is generally considered a rare species in the region. Though generally infrequently encountered, all five species occur in very high numbers in our plots and they are among the dominant springtails. The habitats surveyed in the study, i.e. dry Calluna-heathlands and their accompanying habitats are endangered in Central Europe and require active management. In one of the studied plots, a prescribed burn was applied to rejuve- nate the heather. We discuss the distribution and habitat preferences of the five species in the European context and their possible significance as indicators of different habitat types. M.

Breve definición del grupo y principales caracteres diagnósticos Hexapoda incluye cuatro grandes grupos de organismos: Protura, Collembola, Diplura e Insecta (s.s.). Los tres primeros grupos conforman, junto a Microcoryphia y Zygentoma, los denominados Apterygota, insectos primitivamente ápteros. Sin embargo tal agrupación resulta artificial (Bach et al., 1999) y debe desestimarse. Tradicionalmente los Protura se han incluido junto a Collembola y Diplura en los Entognatha, por oposición a los Ectognatha o insectos en sentido estricto. A su vez, Protura y Collembola se han agrupado bajo el nombre de Ellipura. Aunque la posición filogenética de los tres órdenes de Entognatha con respec- to a los Ectognatha ha sido muy discutida, con autores apoyando prácticamente todas las alternativas posibles, los datos genéticos más recientes indican que Ellipura es monofilético y hermano de los Diplura más los Ectognatha (los Cercophora) (Misof et al., 2014). Está relación está también soportada por algu- nos caracteres morfológicos importantes, como la presencia en Cercophora de cercos abdominales (de ahí su nombre), uñas pares, una estructura común del axonema de los espermatozoides y la formación de una segunda membrana en el embrión (el amnion). La monofilia de los Ellipura está soportada por una misma estructura de las mandíbulas (diferente a las de Diplura), la ausencia de espiráculos abdominales, y probablemente la presencia de órganos de Tömösvary.
