Entomobryoidea has been the focus of phylogenetic studies in recent years owing to a
divergence between morphological and genetic data. Recent phylogenies have converged …

Simple Summary Springtails (Collembola) are microarthropods commonly found in
terrestrial habitats, especially associated to the soil. Dicranocentrus Schött is one of the most …

Mitogenomes represent useful tools for investigating the phylogeny of many metazoan
clades. Regarding Collembola, the use of mitogenomics has already shown promising …

Springtails (Collembola) are very small terrestrial arthropods commonly found to be
associated with edaphic environments. Since most species range from 1 to 5 mm and live …

A new species of Capbrya from Brazilian Caatinga is described and illustrated in detail.
Capbrya brasiliensis sp. n. is the first record of the genus outside South Africa. We provide …

Phylogenetic assessments of functional traits are important for mechanistically
understanding the interactions between organisms and environments, but such practices …

Soil has become a major hotspot of biodiversity studies, yet the pattern and timing of the
evolution of soil organisms are poorly known because of the scarcity of paleontological data …

Herein we propose a new name, Lepidocyrtus (Fractocyrtus) amazonaensis nom. nov.

Abstract Soil-dwelling Entomobryomorphan Collembola from the Northeast of Iran were
sampled for the first time as part of a biodiversity surveying study with the aim of improving …

Homology assessment is essential for systematic zoology, but for many taxa and traits,
precise recognition of homology can be challenging with limited evidence. Tomoceridae is …
