  • Unexpected Diversity in Neelipleona Revealed by Molecular Phylogeny Approach (Hexapoda, Collembola)
    S O I L O R G A N I S M S Volume 83 (3) 2011 pp. 383–398 ISSN: 1864-6417 Unexpected diversity in Neelipleona revealed by molecular phylogeny approach (Hexapoda, Collembola) Clément Schneider1, 3, Corinne Cruaud2 and Cyrille A. D’Haese1 1 UMR7205 CNRS, Département Systématique et Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, CP50 Entomology, 45 rue Buffon, 75231 Paris cedex 05, France 2 Genoscope, Centre National de Sequençage, 2 rue G. Crémieux, CP5706, 91057 Evry cedex, France 3 Corresponding author: Clément Schneider (email: [email protected]) Abstract Neelipleona are the smallest of the four Collembola orders in term of species number with 35 species described worldwide (out of around 8000 known Collembola). Despite this apparent poor diversity, Neelipleona have a worldwide repartition. The fact that the most commonly observed species, Neelus murinus Folsom, 1896 and Megalothorax minimus Willem, 1900, display cosmopolitan repartition is striking. A cladistic analysis based on 16S rDNA, COX1 and 28S rDNA D1 and D2 regions, for a broad collembolan sampling was performed. This analysis included 24 representatives of the Neelipleona genera Neelus Folsom, 1896 and Megalothorax Willem, 1900 from various regions. The interpretation of the phylogenetic pattern and number of transformations (branch length) indicates that Neelipleona are more diverse than previously thought, with probably many species yet to be discovered. These results buttress the rank of Neelipleona as a whole order instead of a Symphypleona family. Keywords: Collembola, Neelidae, Megalothorax, Neelus, COX1, 16S, 28S 1. Introduction 1.1. Brief history of Neelipleona classification The Neelidae family was established by Folsom (1896), who described Neelus murinus from Cambridge (USA).

  • 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).

A new species of the genus Spinaethorax Papáč & Palacios-Vargas, 2016, recently erected for two cave species of Mexico, is described from a Vietnamese cave. It differs from the Mexican species most noticeably by the dorsal chaetotaxy of the head (number and morphology of chaetae), the shape of S-chaetae on the third antennomere, the dorsal chaetotaxy of the abdomen and the chaetotaxy of the dens. The pattern of special τ-chaetae is described for the first time in the genus. The affinities between Spinaethorax and the other genera of Neelipleona are discussed.

  • Diversity and Abundance of Springtails (Insecta: Collembola) in Native and Restored Tallgrass Prairies
    Am. Midl. Nat. 139:235±242 Diversity and Abundance of Springtails (Insecta: Collembola) in Native and Restored Tallgrass Prairies RAYMOND H. BRAND AND CHRISTOPHER P. DUNN The Morton Arboretum, 4100 Illinois Route 53, Lisle, Illinois 60532-1293 ABSTRACT.ÐThis study suggests that heterotrophic components of prairie ecosystems can be used with autotrophic components to assess the degree to which a restored prairie ap- proaches the biotic complexity of a native prairie. Springtails (Collembola) were collected from prairie vegetation and litter samples from 13 prairie sites (seven native and six restored) located in southwestern Michigan and northeastern Illinois. The diversity and abundance of these insects and the plant and litter biomass were compared. There were 27 different taxa of springtails in the 225 samples collected. Native prairies had the greatest species richness with 26 species. The oldest restored prairie had 17 species. Three common species were Hypogastrura boletivora, Isotoma viridis, and Lepidocyrtus pallidus. Neanura muscorum, Xenylla grisea, and Pseuduosinella rolfsi were rare. Tomocerus ¯avescens was found primarily in native prairies with only one occurrence in the oldest restored prairie in this study. Native prairies and restored prairies of 17 and 24 yr did not differ signi®cantly in numbers of springtails. Differences in springtail numbers did occur, however, between restored prairies of ,6yr and native prairies, and between younger (,6 yr) and older (17 and 26 yr) restored prairies. An analysis of plant and litter biomass indicated signi®cant differences among the prairie sites sampled. These results suggest that all components of the prairie ecosystem are useful for making restoration management decisions.

  • Diversity of Springtail Insects in Restored Prairie
    DIVERSITY OF SPRINGTAIL INSECTS IN RESTORED PRAIRIE A report of research under contract number 113 with the Illinois Department of Conservation, Division of Natural Heritage . A small project proposal funded by the Nongame Wildlife Conservation Fund. Dates of project: Prepared by June 30, 1990 - August 31, 1991 Raymond H. Brand The Morton Arboretum Lisle, Illinois 60532 Introduction Prior to human settlement by European Immigrants, much of the mid-western landscape of the United States was dominated by native tall grass prairies . The state of Illinois was approximately eighty-five percent prairie according to a vegetation map of the prairie peninsula (Transeau, 1935) . In recent times, industrialization, transportation routes, agriculture, and an ever expanding human population has now decreased the amount of Illinois prairie to less than five percent (Anderson, 1970) . One response to the disappearance of prairie communities has been the effort to re-establish some of them in protected areas. Both professional ecologists and volunteer, amateur prairie enthusiasts have attempted restorations in many parts of the Midwest One of the largest efforts (over 440 acres) has taken place inside the high energy accelerator ring at the Fermi National Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois (Betz, 1984) . This paper presents the results of a study on the epigeic springtail insects of the Fermilab restored prairie communities. Some reference to similar continuing studies at nearby native prairies and other restored prairies will also be included (Brand, 1989) . One of the advantages of the Fermilab site is the opportunity to sample a number of adjacent restored prairies in a chronosequence extending over sixteen years within the general context of similar environmental conditions of climate, soil, and fire management regimes.

  • Final Report for Wildlife Preservation Fund Contract # 98-050 to Study the Effect of Burning on Epigeic Springtail Insects of Oak Woodlands Submitted by Raymond H
    June 30, 1998 Final Report for Wildlife Preservation Fund contract # 98-050 to study the effect of burning on epigeic springtail insects of oak woodlands Submitted by Raymond H. Brand The Morton Arboretum Introduction Fire has been used as an effective tool in ecological restoration management for a number of years. Usually, it has been employed to eradicate unwanted exotic plant species that have invaded a native ecosystem . In both prairie and woodland restorations, prescribed burning has become an annual or regular feature of the management protocol . A few studies have focused attention on the effect of burning on arthropod populations as indicated in the references at the end of this report. In this study, comparisons are made of the diversity (richness) and abundance of springtail . insects in the burned and unburned areas of two different woodland sites . One site is the East woods of the Morton Arboretum, a second growth woods of hardwood species (oak, hickory,maple, linden, cherry, etc.), that has been set aside as a natural area since the founding of the arboretum in 1922. Many areas of these woods have become almost entirely composed of maple species . Partly as an experiment in an attempt to maintain a higher diversity of hardwood species, prescribed annual burning for over ten years has been used for a large section of the woods south of the main road (Forest Road) that goes through the woods at the East end of the arboretum . In most areas of the woods there is a closed canopy formed by the mature trees. The other site is known as Lincoln Marsh in Wheaton, Illinois .

Four expeditions were organized from November 2003 to August 2004, at four altitudes (2,753, 3,015, 3,250 and 3,687 m a.s.l.). In each site, air temperature, CO 2 concentration, humidity, and terrain inclination were measured. The infl uence of abiotic factors on faunal composition was evaluated, at the four collecting sites, with canonical correspondence analyses (CCA). A total of 24,028 specimens were obtained, representing 12 families, 44 genera and 76 species. Mesaphorura phlorae , Proisotoma ca. tenella and Parisotoma ca. notabilis were the most abundant species. The highest diversity and evenness were recorded at 3,250 m (H’ = 2.85; J’ = 0.73). Canonical analyses axes 1 and 2 of the CCA explained 67.4% of the variance in species composition, with CO 2 and altitude best explaining axis 1, while slope and humidity were better correlated to axis 2.

Several sub-Antarctic islands have been invaded by plants, animals and insects, mostly of European origin. Marion Island forms part of the Prince Edward Islands and has been invaded by species over time. Vascular plants, mainly from the families Poaceae, Caryophyllaceae and Juncaceae from Europe, have successfully established on the island due to their broad environmental tolerance and have managed to dominate most of the six habitat community complexes on Marion Island. Springtails found on Marion Island occupy all of the six habitat complexes, where they are amongst the most abundant invertebrates.
