ВЛИЯНИЕ МИКРОБИОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО ПРЕПАРАТА «БАЙКАЛ-ЭМ1» НА FOLSOMIA CANDIDA (WILLEM, 1902) (HEXAPODA, COLLEMBOLA)

New Method for Automatic Body Length Measurement of the Collembolan, Folsomia candida Willem 1902 (Insecta: Collembola)

The collembolan, Folsomia candida, is widely used in soil ecotoxicology. In recent years, growth rate of collembolans has become as frequently used endpoint as reproduction rate in ecotoxicological studies. However, measuring collembolan body sizes to estimate growth rate is a complicated and time-consuming task. Here we present a new image analysis method, which facilitates and accelerates the...

Assessment of movement patterns in Folsomia candida (Hexapoda: Collembola) in the presence of food

24 25 We showed that Folsomia candida (a blind soil-dwelling Collembola) was able to shift from 26 non-directional (random or search strategy) to directional (target-oriented) movements at short 27 distance of food. We measured departure from linearity and access (or not) to food by the springtail 28 according to distance to the target position. Video-records and image analysis were used to obt...

Intraspecific Phenotypic Variation and Morphological Divergence of Strains of Folsomia candida (Willem) (Collembola: Isotomidae), the "Standard" Test Springtaill

We describe and compare the external morphology of eleven clonal strains and one sexual lineage of the globally distributed Folsomia candida, known as "standard" test Collembola. Of the 18 morphological characters studied, we measured 14 to have significant between-strains genetic variations, 9 of these had high heritabilities (>78%). The quantified morphological polymorphism was used to analys...

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus toyonensis VU-DES13, Isolated from Folsomia candida (Collembola: Entomobryidae)

We present here the draft genome of Bacillus toyonensis VU-DES13, which was isolated from the midgut of the soil-living springtail Folsomia candida Previous research revealed the presence of gene clusters for the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites, including β-lactam antibiotics, in the host's genome. The genome data are discussed in the light of the antimicrobial properties against ...
