The main goal of this study was to identify the treatment that increases the populations of spiders, which are effective predators in agroecosystems. In 2013 and 2014 the experimental eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) field was two different treatments, organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizer treatment, and in 2014 we surrounded organic fertilizer plots with the flowering plants mealy cup sag...

In this study, the effects of a low-intensity prescribed bum were assessed on soil microarthropods by examining Collembola, Oribatid, Mesostigmata, and Pro stigmata populations. Sampling was done for three consecutive years, including one year pre-bum. Mean microarthropod populations of all groups fluctuated over the three years, but further analysis indicated significant differences by date wi...

Collembola merupakan kelompok Arthropoda yang sangat beragam dan memiliki fungsi penting di dalam ekosistem tanah. Namun, kelimpahan keanekaragaman Kalimantan Barat masih sedikit dipelajari. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan informasi Collembola, serta hubungannya dengan faktor lingkungan. Sampel dikumpulkan pada Desember 2016 Februari 2017. dari hutan alami, karet, kebun kelapa sa...

1 2 Relationships between anecic earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris and Aporrectodea 3 giardi) and the collembolan species Heteromurus nitidus (Templeton, 1835), which is known 4 to be attracted to earthworms, were investigated in an 8-week laboratory experiment. Our 5 aims were (1) to assess whether earthworms influence the population dynamics of H. nitidus, 6 and (2) to study pathways of influe...

Despite its ancient origin, global distribution and abundance in nearly all habitats, the class Collembola is comprised of only 8000 described species and is estimated to number no more than 50,000. Many morphologically defined species have broad geographical ranges that span continents, and recent molecular work has revealed high genetic diversity within species. However, the evolutionary sign...

the objective of the study was to determine the effect of the process of natural bioremediation, and bioremediation supported by zb-01 microbiological preparation on the occurrence of collembola and araneae in conditions of soil contaminated by petroleum-derived substances. the studies were conducted in 2010-2012, in the area of the experiment station of the university of agriculture, near krak...

The introduction of behavioural aspects of soil animals in ecological risk assessment would allow us to better assess soil quality, all the more if a range of animal populations are considered. We compared the avoidance behaviour of several strains of springtails (Arthropoda: Collembola) obtained from different soils. Naphthalene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), widely represented in s...
