Glaciers host a variety of cold‐adapted taxa, many of which have not yet been described.
Interactions among glacier organisms are even less clear. Understanding ecological …

Abstract Springtails (Hexapoda: Collembola) play a key role in biological community in
glacial ecosystems and represent important ecological indicators in such threatened …

We applied a multi-taxa approach integrating the co-occurrence of plants, ground beetles,
spiders and springtails with soil parameters (temperatures and chemical characteristics) in …

Melting glaciers give a unique possibility to study how life colonizes newly exposed ground.
Research during the last two decades has shown that arthropods play a key role in …

Glacier surfaces are the most biologically productive parts of glaciers with a variety of
organisms and habitats. However, distinctiveness of habitats and communities of dominant …

Debris-covered glaciers are common in many regions of the world, and accurately modelling
their melt is of increasing importance for water resources planning, and biological and …

Successional changes in springtail communities were studied along a retreating Tsey
Glacier at 2336 to 2071 m asl Springtails were collected from 10 sites of different ages …

Mosses are important pioneer organisms in cold and wet habitats, such as glacial and
periglacial habitats of the European Alps. These habitats include glaciers and rock glaciers …

Successional changes in springtail communities from ten sites of different ages ranging from
one to 170 years were studied along the retreating Tsey Glacier at 2336 to 2071 m asl The …

With the retreat and extinction of glaciers worldwide, new areas are exposed for colonization
by diverse plants and associated insects. Yet, glacier retreat is also followed by the loss of …
