“…Hence, an exposure to temperature also avoids such a confounding effect. Acclimation treatments lasted seven days, given that complete responses usually occur within seven days in terrestrial arthropods, including Collembola ( Weldon et al., 2011 ; Janion-Scheepers et al., 2018 ; Kuyucu and Chown, 2021 ). Acclimation treatments were as follows: sub-Antarctic (7 °C or 17 °C), temperate (15 °C or 25 °C) and tropical (20 °C or 30 °C) ( Table 1 ).…”

“…Second, measurements of the phenotype in the new environment should be performed on several occasions during the process of acclimation to obtain information F I G U R E 2 Illustration of the proposed method for quantifying the rate of phenotypic plasticity based on the temporal change in values of D, which gives the proportion of the full plastic response that remains to be achieved after varying durations of exposure to a new environment following prior acclimation to an initial environment (see main text for calculation). Data are from one of the experiments presented by Kuyucu and Chown (2021), where the insect species Mucrosomia caeca was first kept at 10 °C ('initial environment') before being shifted to 20°C ('new environment'). The minimum critical temperature was then determined for individuals after different durations of acclimation to 20°C.…”

With rapid and less predictable environmental change emerging as the ‘new norm’, understanding how individuals tolerate environmental stress via plastic, often reversible changes to the phenotype (i.e., reversible phenotypic plasticity, RPP), remains a key issue in ecology. Here, we examine the potential for better understanding how organisms overcome environmental challenges within their own lifetimes by scrutinizing a somewhat overlooked aspect of RPP, namely the rate at which it can occur. Although recent advances in the field provide indication of the aspects of environmental change where RPP rates may be of particular ecological relevance, we observe that current theoretical models do not consider the evolutionary potential of the rate of RPP. Whilst recent theory underscores the importance of environmental predictability in determining the slope of the evolved reaction norm for a given trait (i.e., how much plasticity can occur), a hitherto neglected possibility is that the rate of plasticity might be a more dynamic component of this relationship than previously assumed. If the rate of plasticity itself can evolve, as empirical evidence foreshadows, rates of plasticity may have the potential to alter the level predictability in the environment as perceived by the organism and thus influence the slope of the evolved reaction norm. However, optimality in the rate of phenotypic plasticity, its evolutionary dynamics in different environments and influence of constraints imposed by associated costs remain unexplored and may represent fruitful avenues of exploration in future theoretical and empirical treatments of the topic. We conclude by reviewing published studies of RPP rates, providing suggestions for improving the measurement of RPP rates, both in terms of experimental design and in the statistical quantification of this component of plasticity.

“…Collembola with approximately 9,000 published species worldwide are one of the most successful, abundant, and dominant micro-arthropods in most terrestrial ecosystems (Buda et al, 2020;Sharman et al, 2020;Kuyucu & Chown, 2021;Saifutdinov et al, 2021;Bellinger et al, 1996Bellinger et al, -2021.

Soil-dwelling Entomobryomorphan Collembola from the Northeast of Iran were sampled for the first time as part of a biodiversity surveying study with the aim of improving ecosystem conservation. Materials were obtained by sampling in three different ecosystems including forest, rangeland and agricultural fields between 2018 and 2019. The specimens were cleared using either Nesbitt's fluid or lactic acid and permanent microscopic slides were prepared using Hoyer's medium. As the result of this study, twenty-nine species belonging to twenty-two genera and five families of the order Entomobryomorpha were identified. Among them, two genera and eight species are recorded for the first time from Iran. The new records are Desoria trispinata (MacGillivray, 1896),
