“…In addition to new records for science, the species richness of springtails (S=26), saprophagous flies (S=30) and termites (S=38) of SSC are among the highest recorded for an area of Caatinga in Northeast Brazil , Santos-Rocha et al 2011, Ferreira et al 2013, Alves et al 2014, Vasconcellos & Moura 2014, Vasconcelos & Salgado 2014. For the dung beetles, the total richness observed (S=20) was greater or close to that found in other areas of Caatinga in Northeast Brazil (S=4-23) and identical to two other areas of Caatinga in the state of Paraíba (Hernández 2005, Lopes et al 2006, Liberal et al 2011, Salomão 2012, Salomão & Iannuzzi 2017.…”

“…Species richness recorded for Collembola in the Caatinga ranges from 2 to 15 (Bellini & Zeppelini 2009, Santos-Rocha et al 2011, Ferreira et al 2013, with the genus Seira being dominant with 17 species. Bellini & Zeppelini (2009) state that the Northeast Region of Brazil is, possibly, one of the areas of greatest species richness for the genus Seira in the world.…”

In detritus-based trophic systems, springtails, dung beetles, saprophagous calyptrate flies and termites consume and fragment organic matter and control populations of decomposer microorganisms, exerting a strong influence on energy and nutrient fluxes. A faunal inventory of these four groups of hexapods was performed in Serra de Santa Catarina (SSC), an area of arboreal-shrub caatinga located in the state of Paraíba, with the purpose of characterizing the assemblages of these taxa, and highlighting their unique links to the local ecosystem. Samplings were performed in May, 2014, and April, 2015, both during the rainy season. Standard sampling protocols for biodiversity inventory of the various taxa were used, including both active and passive sampling methods. In general, 114 species of hexapods were captured, with 26 species of springtails, 20 dung beetles, 30 saprophagous calyptrate flies and 38 termites, with sampling sufficiency varying from 69.5 to 96.8% of total estimated richness. Species richness of the groups are among the highest recorded for a single area of Caatinga, with some taxa being recorded for the first time for the domain. Several morphospecies had indeterminate taxonomic status, especially springtails and termites, and are quite likely new species to science. The structure of the assemblages of springtails, dung beetles, saprophagous calyptrate flies and termites recorded in SSC, suggest that this conserved area is unique within the highly impacted landscape of Caatinga, and has great potential for the conservation of biodiversity of this domain in the Northeast Region of Brazil.

“…It was recorded that the treated soil had more mites than the control soil. Ferreira, Bellini, & Vasconcellos (2013) stated that the existence of Collembola is influenced by the existence of natural enemies such as predators and parasitoids which acts as population control agent. Ferguson & Joly (2002) stated that mites' population are the main factor that influences Collembola population because predation Collembola by mites.…”

The sugarcane leaf litter contains organic material and if it is returned to the soil, it will increase the diversity of Collembola. Collembola has an important role as a decomposer of soil organic matter and bioindicator of soil health. This study was conducted to determine the effect of sugarcane leaf litter on the diversity of Collembolan in sugarcane plantation at Kebonagung Sugar Factory, Malang. This study was conducted from March to June 2018. Transect method was used in sampling method. The pitfall traps were used to obtain Collembolan samples on the surface of the ground while the Berlese-Tullgren funnels were used to obtain Collembolan samples inside the soil. A total of 5,535 collembolan were collected. Five species were collected, including Brachystomella sp., Folsomides sp., Mesaphorura sp., Alloscopus sp., and Dicranocentrus sp. Applying sugarcane leaf litter to the soil has a positive effect on Collembolan diversity, as evidenced by the increasing value of diversity index on the soil surface from 0.53 to 1.11 and decreasing the value of dominance index on the soil surface from 0.76 to 0.43.

“…In western North America, precipitation is more variable than in the east. In arid regions, high volumes of precipitation are known to trigger insect emergence (Wiesenborn 1998) and increase population density (Rentz 1973, Tappan et al 1991, Martin et al 1995, Ferreira et al 2013.

Abstract. Mass multi-species cicada emergences (broods) occur in California with variable periodicity. Here we present the first rule set that predicts the emergence of protoperiodical cicada communities. We tested two hypotheses with a dataset consisting of direct observations and georeferenced museum specimen records: first, that cicada broods are triggered to emerge by periodic ENSO events and second, that brood emergences occur after precipitation accumulates above a threshold value. The period of ENSO events does not explain the observed pattern of cicada brood emergence. Rather, broods emerged given two conditions: (1) that total precipitation exceeded a threshold of 1,181 mm, and (2) that a minimum 3-yr period lapsed. The precipitation threshold is obeyed over an 800 km north-south distance in California and across a variety of habitats. We predict the next brood emergence at one study site in arid Los Angeles County desert foothills to occur in 2020 or, if drought conditions continue, in 2021.
