Abstract A hotspot of subterranean Collembola in ferruginous rock caves and Mesovoid Shallow Substratum is revealed by the analysis pseudocryptic diversity. The diversity accessed detailed description chaetotaxy slight variation morphology 11 new species Trogolaphysa Mills, 1938 (Collembola, Paronellidae, Paronellinae) 50 previously recorded springtails from caves, using optical electronic microscopy. When combined with recent surveys, our results show an important reservoir cave Substratum....
Abstract A proposal for taxonomic species description notation is presented to replace the traditional descriptive texts a coded matrix, avoiding redundant adjectives and subjective descriptions. This an attempt enhance rate make descriptions output available other scientific disciplines, machine learning, interactive computer‐assisted identification keys, metadata analysis its applications. The method consists of presenting overall morphology in following character list with detailed...
We presented a synthesis of Brazilian Entomobryomorpha species and new records the oceanic islands located in Equatorial Atlantic. In this work, we observed global distributions that inhabit islands. distribution maps for all found on closest continent. Our study showed occur also American continent, mainly neotropical region, or are widespread. established neotype first Collembola described Brazil together with detailed morphological study.
Pseudoscorpiones are compose an ancient order of arachnids, occur in a wide variety terrestrial habitats worldwide, with representatives various genera occurring exclusively insular habitats. The primary objective this study was to determine the composition and distribution within Brazilian equatorial oceanic islands. To communities coastal environmental islands (Fernando de Noronha archipelago, Rocas Atoll St. Peter Paul rocks), defined three zones along gradient These include Sand Beach...
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux pumps mediate the activity of Multixenobiotic Resistance (MXR) mechanism and have been proposed as a biomarker environmental pollution mainly in aquatic invertebrates. MXR was never investigated Collembola represents potential tool for soil biomonitoring. This study aimed to characterize first time ABC gut collembolan species, investigate its responsiveness cadmium (Cd), common stressor found polluted soils. We performed vitro rhodamine-B accumulation assays...
We present the catalogue of species Collembola Coleção de Referência Fauna Solo at Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (CRFS/ UEPB), including 6 holotypes Isotogastruridae, Lepidocyrtidae, Neanuridae, and Sminthuridae families. Four are newly recorded in Brazil: Arrhopalites caecus (Tullberg, 1871) Börner, 1906; Lepidocyrtus neofasciatus Wray, 1948; Folsomides famarensis Fjellberg, 1993; Sminthurides aquaticus (Bourlet, 1842) Folsom, 1896; 1 genus, Neelus 1896.
A new proposal for taxonomic species description is presented to replace the traditional descriptive texts. This an attempt enhance rate and make output available other scientific disciplines, machine learning, lucid identification keys, big data analysis its applications. The method consists in presenting of overall morphology a coded matrix, following character list with detailed observed conditions each character. supposed be dynamic open amendments addition as they become available. We...
Collembola are well-established models in ecotoxicological research, extensively employed to investigate the effects of various contaminants, including heavy metals. The Multixenobiotic Resistance Mechanism (MXR) is a physiological response based on transmembrane efflux proteins that play pivotal role pumping xenobiotics and conferring resistance. This mechanism firmly established as biomarker aquatic contamination has recently shown promise soil biomonitoring tool. In this study, we aimed...
Abstract A super diverse hot spot of subterranean Collembola in ferruginous rock caves and Mesovoid Shallow Substratum is revealed by the analysis cryptic diversity. The diversity accessed detailed description chaetotaxy slight variation morphology 11 new species Trogolaphysa Mills, 1938 (Collembola, Paronellidae, Paronellinae) 49 previously recorded springtails from caves, using optical electronic microscopy. When combined with recent surveys, our results show an important reservoir cave...
