“…However, little is known about their interaction with the rhizosphere, and no knowledge of the relationship of millipedes to the rhizosphere has been published so far. The wetland and submerged rhizosphere not only serve as a food source for small invertebrates but also offer habitat complexity, an oxygenic environment, physical protection, and shelter (Bardgett & van der Putten, 2014; Feeney et al, 2006; Ohtaka et al, 2014; Wetzel, 2000). Many invertebrates graze on the roots and feed on rhizosphere microorganisms (Hinsinger et al, 2009; Leduc & Probert, 2011), such as rhizosphere bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi (Bjørnlund et al, 2006; Bonkowski et al, 2009; Neori & Agami, 2017).…”

Geoglomeris subterranea VERHOEFF 1908 is a small (2-3 mm), blind, and depigmented representative of the order Glomerida, with a predominantly Western European distribution. Towards Central Europe (the Czech Republic, Austria), the species is found only sporadically, and its occurrence is documented by a small number of individuals.Recently, we documented this species in three orographic units of Slovakia (Slovenské stredohorie mountain range, Slovak Karst, and Pieniny Mountains), always on limestone bedrock. These findings represent the easternmost documented occurrence of the species. Analysis of the mitochondrial COI gene confirmed the identity as the species G. subterranea from Western Europe. The circumstances of the findings in Slovakia were very surprising: At the first two localities, living individuals were repeatedly collected from the bottom of karst springs, together with stygobiont fauna. This expands our knowledge of semiaquatic millipedes and proves to be unique to the order Glomerida. In a subsequent study, we found a close association of this species with the rhizosphere within soil saturated by water at karst springs, in humid to wet habitats. Nonetheless, using detailed morphological study, no morphological adaptations to the aquatic environment were found.

“…This constitutes a secondary introduction inasmuch as the species is native to the Amazon basin in South America. The faunal composition of animals associated with water hyacinths from the wild has already been reported, and in particular the microhabitat of submerged roots has been highlighted as an important shelter for a rich interrhizon invertebrate community 21 25 . In addition to the interrhizon, however, we found some invertebrates, such as caterpillars, living above the water level, and particularly on the surface of leaves and their bulbous stalks.…”

In recent years, the keeping of ornamental freshwater animals and plants in garden ponds has been growing in popularity. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is one of the preferred macrophytes seasonally imported mainly from South-eastern Asia throughout the world. This constitutes a secondary introduction inasmuch as the species is native to South America. Although many assemblages of aquatic invertebrates have been described as associated with this plant in the wild, there has been no research focused on their potential introduction via the international plant trade. We examined 216 specimens of water hyacinths imported for ornamental purposes from Indonesia into the Czech Republic. Numerous meio- and macroinvertebrates belonging to at least 39 species were captured. On the total number of individuals, the highest prevalence was of Tubulinea and Rotifera. Most of these were still alive and vital, including a caterpillar of the Indo–Australian invasive moth Spodoptera litura. Water hyacinths are usually placed into outdoor ponds immediately after import, which facilitates the release of non-target alien species. The present paper aims to draw attention to “hitchhikers” associated with the ornamental trade.

“…The present species was collected from muddy bottom in Lake Tundai, an oxbow lake in Kahayan River system in Central Kalimantan. The lake water is acidic and brownish in color due to high amount of humic substances derived from a tropical bog, with the pH ranging from 3.9 to 4.6 (Ohtaka et al 2014). The lake is 3-6 m deep, the bottom temperature ranged from 27 to 29°C and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the bottom waters ranged from 0.7 to 1.1 mg l −1 (Ohtaka et al 2014).…”
