Soil-living animals such as collembolans, earthworms and isopods are considered to be
sedentary animals with only limited dispersal capacities. Therefore, gene flow among …

Landscape features are known to alter the spatial genetic variation of aboveground
organisms. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the genetic structure of belowground …

Species identifications have been historically difficult in the Choristoneura fumiferana group,
an important insect pest complex. We examined the utility of simple sequence repeats …

The limited dispersal ability of earthworms is expected to result in marked genetic isolation
by distance and remarkable spatial patterns of genetic variation. To test this hypothesis, we …

Abstract Plant Protection Products (PPP) raise concerns as their application may cause
effects on some soil organisms considered non-target species which could be highly …

In the present study the joint transcriptomic and metabolomic responses in Folsomia
candida (Collembola) to temperature changes on a short-term scale were studied. Change …

Calcium (Ca)-rich food can increase feeding of Lumbricidae. Earthworms can be genetically
differentiated at a small spatial scale and acclimatize to the local environment during growth …

Soil invertebrates make up diverse communities living in soil pores and on the soil surface,
digging burrows and tunnels, processing organic matter and interacting with microbes. Soil …

With increasing global scarcity of freshwater, groundwater aquifers are an increasingly
valuable reserve. However, anthropogenic activities endanger integrity of groundwater …

The potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli) is native to North America and occurs from Central
America to Canada. A new disease of potatoes, Zebra Chip, has recently been associated …
