“…Active movement can occur from millimetre to decimetre scale, using chemical communication to detect food (Bengtsson et al 1988, Salmon and, sexual partners (Waldorf 1974, Zizzari et al 2017 or environmental threats such as those potentially associated with dead conspecifics (Nilsson and Bengtsson 2004). Movement to places already occupied by conspecifics, which are conditioned by aggregation pheromones (Salmon et al 2019), help to find safe sites for growth, reproduction and protection from natural enemies and environmental hazards (Wertheim et al 2005), tendency for aggregation increasing with the age of animals (Barra and Christiansen 1975).…”

The present opinion paper suggests that springtails, which can live above-and/or belowground according to species requirements, have two strategies at their disposal to face environmental hazards, called 'move' or 'change'. Species with poor dispersal capacity, often parthenogenetic, and living mainly in a confined environment, have to adapt themselves by increasing their phenotypic plasticity or letting the environment selecting or adding favourable mutations. Conversely, species with a high dispersal capacity, often sexual and living in a more open environment, may emigrate and immigrate without the need to become better adapted to changing environmental conditions. Advantages and disadvantages of these two tactics are reviewed and their prospective responses to global changes are compared on the light of existing knowledge on this microarthropod group.

“…Information available about impact of ARD on the soil mesofauna, such as Collembola, is scarce (Winkelmann et al, 2019). Since Collembola are known to show certain food preferences (Hopkin, 1997) and respond to a number of volatile organic substances in the soil (Werner et al, 2016; Salmon et al, 2019) direct as well as indirect impacts on ARD are likely. So far, own results already show a reduced biodiversity and abundance of Collembola species in ARD soil compared with non‐ARD control sites (Michaelis, 2018).…”

Does apple replant disease affect the soil patch selection behaviour and population growth of Collembolans?

Apple replant disease (ARD) is common to all major apple-growing regions in the world. It occurs when new apple trees are replanted on sites where previously the same or closely related crop species were grown. Biotic (fungi, bacteria and nematodes) and abiotic soil factors (poor soil structure, nutrition) contribute to the development and severity of ARD. However, the aetiology of ARD and effects on higher trophic levels are still unknown. In that sense, Collembola might play an important role, since they are one of the dominant mesofauna groups in many soils. They act as decomposer, fungivores and predators, representing different trophic levels in soil food webs. Therefore, any effect of ARD on the occurrence of Collembola could have ecological impacts on the soil quality and health. Here, we examined the colonization behaviour of two Collembolan species, Folsomia candida and Sinella curviseta, in choice tests and population growth tests using Apple Replant Diseased soil (ARD) and non-ARD soil samples from different field sites and standardized laboratory bioassays.Additionally, Collembola behaviour was quantified by continuous video observations to investigate short-term behavioural changes. Results showed that both Collembolan species significantly preferred colonization of the non-ARD soils compared with ARD soils, independent of the origin of the soil samples or specific disinfection treatments.Moreover, the detailed video analysis of the foraging behaviour indicates rapid colonization of soil samples and low dispersal rates. Most likely, volatile compounds and to a lesser extent feeding stimulants play a vital role for the colonization process for both Collembolan species. Finally, results showed negative effects of ARD on population growth of both Collembolan species already after an 8-week period, implying strong nutritional deficiencies in ARD affected soils. The hypothesis that ARD causing microorganisms directly affected orientation, colonization and population development of Collembola is discussed.
