Rainforest conversion and expansion of plantations in tropical regions are associated with
changes in animal communities and biodiversity decline. In soil, Collembola are one of the
most numerous invertebrate groups that affect the functioning of microbial communities and
support arthropod predators. Despite that, information on the impact of changes in land use
in the tropics on species and trait composition of Collembola communities is very limited. We
investigated the response of Collembola to the conversion of rainforest into rubber …
