On October 23, 2021, the springtail Sminthurinus domesticus was first collected during a trip tothe tropical greenhouses of the Hortus botanicus in Leiden. On November 15, 2021, moreindividuals of S. domesticus were collected. Furthermore individuals of Sminthurides bifidus werecollected from the surface of a small pond in one of the tropical green...

The black, globular springtail Sminthurinus lawrencei Gisin, 1963 has long been thought of as a rare species, known from only few localities in only three countries, up to and including 2020. This work describes the discovery of this species in other countries resulting from identification of newly collected specimens, a re-analysis of older collec...

High affinity potassium transporters (HKT) are recognized as important genes for crop salt tolerance improvement. In this study, we investigated HvHKT1;5 as a candidate gene for a previously discovered quantitative trait locus that controls shoot Na + and Na + /K + ratio in salt-stressed barley lines on a hydroponic system. Two major haplotype grou...

Pimpernelblauwtjes, knoopmieren en springstaarten zijn onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden. De rupsen van de blauwtjes leven in de nesten van knoopmieren en springstaarten vormen een belangrijke voedselbron van knoopmieren. Om meer inzicht te krijgen in deze relaties is de verspreiding van springstaarten in een recentelijk afgegraven natuurontwikkel...

In recent years, developments in plant phenomic approaches and facilities have gradually caught up with genomic approaches. An opportunity lies ahead to dissect complex, quantitative traits when both genotype and phenotype can be assessed at a high level of detail. This is especially true for studying natural variation in photosynthesis efficiency,...

In het kader van onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van blauwgraslanden in de omgeving van Den Bosch is een vijftal blauwgraslanden bemonsterd op springstaarten. Deze blauwgraslanden hebben een goede natuurkwaliteit maar verschillen in bodemtype en -vochtigheid. De verzamelde gegevens dragen in grote mate bij aan de kennis over de springstaartgemeensch...

Recently the springtail genus Folsomides was collected for the first time in the Netherlands. One specimen of F. angularis and four specimens of F. parvulus (2013) were found in the nature reserve "Moerputten", near 's-Hertogenbosch (province of Noord-Brabant), in the southern part of the country. Both individuals were found on former agricultural...
