Springtails (Collembola) inhabit soils from the Arctic to the Antarctic and comprise an estimated ~32% of all terrestrial arthropods on Earth. Here, we present a global, spatially-explicit database on springtail communities that includes 249,912 occurrences from 44,999 samples and 2,990 sites. These data are mainly raw sample-level records at the s...
Simple Summary
The cave fauna of the Macaronesian archipelagos is rich in endemic species. In this region, most studies have been carried out in the Azores and the Canary Islands. In contrast to these archipelagos, the arthropod fauna of the lava tubes of the Madeira has not been well studied. Madeira is the only island in this archipelago with lav...
361 COLÉMBOLOS, hexápodos ápteros con cola para brincar Los ingleses usan para este grupo un nombre muy adecuado: springtails (spring, 'brinco', 'salto' y tail , 'cola'), porque muchos de estos diminutos hexápodos basales o entognatos, tienen una "cola" o mejor dicho apéndice caudal, capaz de propulsarlos en el aire varias veces la longitud de su c...
Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among the most abundant soil arthropods regulating soil fertility and flow of energy through above- and belowground food webs. However, the global distribution of springtail diversity and density, and how these relate to energy fluxes remains...

The distribution pattern of springtails from four volcanic caves in the district of Machico was investigated during the period 2001-2002. Three basaltic caves are located at the site of Fazenda: Cavalum (CV) I, II and III, and a basalt cave at the site of Landeiros (LN). In the caves from Cavalum, three species of springtails had already been cited...
Three species of springtails had already been cited in the Cavalum caves in the 1950s: Disparrhopalites patrizii by Delamare (1957) and Deuteraphorura ghidinii and Onychiurus circulans by Gisin (1958).
RESULTS. This study provides a better understanding of the collembola that inhabit these volcanic caves. In total, 13 species of springtails were id...
Animals of the intertidal zone tolerate substantial environmental fluctuations. Survival under such unstable conditions requires specific adaptations. Several intertidal species have evolved endogenous mechanisms that follow tidal rhythms permitting behavioural alignment with periodic inundation. For example, aggregation behaviour in the springtail...
