Metals found in remnant patches, such as forest pockets adjacent to cities arise mostly from emission sources born from urban land usage, inevitably contaminating these forest soils [1].Soil invertebrates are well known indicators of pollutant levels [2], but the results are often influenced by factors [3] such as their response to metal exposure, as a result of their physiology, mobility, feeding habits and microhabitat preferences [4]. Some diplopod species developed strategies to potentially minimize
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
