“…The closest species to S. ritae sp. nov. appears to be S. mendoncea Bellini & Zeppelini, a taxon also reported from the state of Paraíba (BELLINI & ZEPPELINI 2008b). These taxa share similar patterns of dorsal macrochaetae distribution on all cephalic regions (except posterior region 6), metathorax, and abdominal segments I, II and III (in this last one, there are extra setae on region B in S. ritae sp.…”

Seira Lubbock, 1869 is the most speciose genus of Collembola in Brazil. Herein, we describe and illustrate a new species of Seira, Seira ritae sp. nov., collected in João Pessoa, state of Paraíba, Brazil, in an urban seaside area. The new species shows many similarities with S. mendoncea Bellini & Zeppelini, 2009 especially in what concerns the dorsal distribution of the macrochaetae of the head, the metathorax, and the first three abdominal segments. However, the two species can be distinguished by the chaetotaxy of the mesothorax and abdominal segment IV. The type locality of the species probably indicates some level of natural resistance to the impacts associated with human activities

“…Indriyati & Wibowo also found three dominant families, namely Entomobryidae, Isotomidae, and Hypogastruridae in organic and conventional rice fields. Entomobryidae is the largest family of Collembola, easy to find because of its large size, able to adapt and survive, and is widely found on the soil surface and in the litter layer [9], [11], [12]. Meanwhile, Hypogastruridae is a fairly large and cosmopolitan family, mostly found in humus and topsoil [9].…”

Collembola is a group of fauna that generally lives in the soil and has an important role as a bioindicator of soil fertility about its function as a detritivore. Habitat changes can cause the Collembola community to be disturbed. This study aims to determine the composition and abundance of Collembola on agrotourism land on the edge of the forest and agrotourism away from the forest in Serang Village, Karangreja District, Purbalingga Regency. The research was conducted by survey method with a purposive sampling technique using a pitfall trap. The enumeration was carried out in the Entomology and Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Biology, Jenderal Soedirman University, Purwokerto. The results showed that the composition of Collembola at both locations contained 9 families, namely Isotomidae, Entomobryidae, Hypogastruridae, Cypoderidae, Sminthuridae, Paronelidae, Neanuridae, Onychiuridae, and Neelidae, with abundance on forest edge areas higher (6147 individuals) than land further from the forest. (2961 individuals). The family Hypogastruridae was abundant on forest edge land (3014 individuals), while on land far from the forest the family Entomobryidae was the most abundant. There is no difference in the index of diversity, evenness, or dominance between forest edge land and land far from the forest in the agro-tourism area.

“…These animals are among the most diverse and representative groups of soil fauna (Deharveng 1996, Cassagne et al 2003 and play a critical role in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition dynamics (Hopkins 1997, Zeppelini and Bellini 2004). Despite their importance, most studies on springtails from Neotropical ecosystems employ solely a systematic or taxonomic approach , Bellini and Godeiro 2012, Bellini and Zeppelini 2008, Culik and Zeppelini 2003, Santos-Rocha et al 2011, Zeppelini and Bellini 2004, Zeppelini and Lima 2012, yielding little information on variations in species richness and abundance of individuals in space and time (Vasconcellos et al 2010, Ferreira et al 2013.…”

The spatial distribution of abiotic resources and environmental conditions can vary at small scales within terrestrial ecosystems, influencing the composition of soil fauna. Epiedaphic springtails (Collembola) of a semiarid Caatinga ecosystem were studied to determine if factors related to vegetation structure, such as species richness, aerial biomass, litterfall, and soil characteristics (pH, granulometry and soil organic matter), influence species richness and abundance of this group. A total of 5,513 individuals were collected of 15 species distributed in 13 genera and 9 families. The most abundant species wereTemeritassp., with 2,086 (38% of the total abundance) individuals, andNeotropiellameridionalis(Arlé, 1939), with 1,911 (35% of the total abundance) individuals. None of the variables in the regression model were significantly related to Collembola species richness, but abundance was significantly related to plant species richness, aerial biomass and soil pH. Thus, even at a small spatial scale, habitat heterogeneity influences the epiedaphic Collembola in the Caatinga ecosystem, especially their abundance.
