Ecological theory suggests that density‐dependent regulation of organism abundance will
vary from exogenous to endogenous factors depending on trophic structure. Changes in …

Despite the environmental importance of Collembola, basic information on the occurrence
and ecology of these soil microarthropods is lacking, especially in Neotropical and …

Deep earthwork activities carried out before vineyard plantation can severely affect soil
