Installing some #alpine pittfall traps for #SoilFauna is fun and sometimes a bit challenging π€
However, the #BiodiversityMonitoringSouthTyrol investigates also the #SoilBiodiversity in the lowland and this year also the high alpine up to 3100m.
Here photos from the Endkopf (2627m) looking at the Reschensee in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #Italy.

β°οΈ What makes #soils in #mountain areas special?
Explore the π episode of our #podcast ποΈ "Solid Science" online about "Soils in Mountain Systems" with Julia Seeber and Roshan Babu Ojha.
Julia works in the #Alps and Roshan investigates the #Nepali mountains. We talked with them about common and different conditions in these systems and in doing soil research high up.

Worm fact!
Did you know that there are several earthworm species which are considered 'arboreal', in that they're more associated with trees than in soil?
Some species, such as this Dendrobaena attemsi are often found in rot holes, under bark on trees and in decaying logs!

Sometimes with macrophotography things just line up perfectly, as with this photo of a globular springtail (a female Stenacidia violacea) on some moss.
Have a great weekend everyone!

And finally, in another first for me, a predatory prostigmatid mite (Eupodidae sp.) running around on the water surface like that's no big thing! I certainly didn't know they could do that... did you?

Followed up with an adorable young male Deuterosminthurus pallipes (and it's the first time I've seen this species)!

You don't always need to turn over a log or rock. Here's a thread of curious mesofauna I found on the surface of my pond this weekend!
First up are these incredibly sweet, bright purple Isotomurus palustris nymphs, plus an adult one at the end for good measure...

A predatory mite (family Bdellidae) doing what it does best - feeding on a springtail. Having a mite skewer your head with its pointed chelicerae isn't the nicest way to go, but fascinating to observe!

For #InternationalBiodiversityDay I'll look beyond the soil, and showcase the amazing water-living springtail Podura aquatica.
Their adaptations for a life on the water surface include a flattened jumping organ, hydrophobic cuticle, and depositing their spermatophores and eggs on water!

Here's something you never see - a proturan's gut contents!
The jury is still out on what exactly these tiny (less than 1.5 mm long) soil invertebrates feed on - most likely decaying organic materials and fungal hyphae...
Have a tasty weekend, everyone!
