The registration of pesticides in the European Union requires the assessment of the toxicity
of active substances to soil invertebrates. The most commonly tested soil microarthropod …

Collembola (springtails) are important members of soil communities worldwide by
contributing to degradation of organic matter. In nature, Collembola might be exposed to the …

Current standard toxicity tests on nontarget soil invertebrates mainly focus on the endpoints
survival and reproduction. Such results are likely insufficient to predict effects at higher …

Standard toxicity tests expose springtails (Collembola) through soil, while dietary exposure
tests with animals visible on a surface are less commonly applied. We refined a method for …

The integration of untargeted lipidomics approaches in ecotoxicology has emerged as a
strategy to enhance the comprehensiveness of environmental risk assessment. Although …

Chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) are commonly used insecticides compromising cuticle
formation and structure in arthropods. Arthropods rely on intact cuticles to maintain water …

Mine waste from abandoned mines poses a risk to soil ecosystems due to the dispersion of
arsenic (As) in the mine waste to the nearby soil environment. Because the bioavailability of …

Egg hatching of the soil collembolan Folsomia candida and the effects of per-and
polyfluoroalkyl substances were investigated. New and effective laboratory methods for egg …

Collembola are abundant and have significant roles in the soil ecosystem. Therefore, the
phenotypic endpoints of Collembola population or community have been used as an …

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO‐NPs) were incubated over time in tropical soil with
earthworms (Eisenia andrei), springtails (Folsomia candida), and enchitraeids (Enchytraeus …
