New research: #fires in #Australia (2019-2020) killed at least 60 billion #leaf #litter #arthropods, and perhaps up to 120 trillion (!!!) if #mites and #springtails are included.
Destruction of this community has effects on #decomposition, which affects stand #recovery.
It’s easy to forget all these tiny #deaths, but we should expect more of them as #ClimateChange and fire interact to accelerate #biodiversity loss.

I only wanted to photograph a small landscape of lichens and mosses...
The extra I got was a lot of unexpected dark-blue springtails in this landscape.
You may zoom in to see them better!

And, best for last??
Springtails!
Seriously every time I see something that doesn’t look right it always turns out to be Springtails. Today it was a small puddle that looked kinda gritty on top.
This is zoomed way in.

Took a day to go check out this #snow I’ve been hearing about. It was lovely. And I found some #springtails on the snow! #XCSki #Tahoe #berkeleyadventures

Today I learned #Springtails have everted vesicles emerging from the collophore on their abdomens that they can drink from, stand on, clean themselves, and help with their jumping process. Something about the mix of tentacle-like appendages with an arthropod seems very 50’s B-movie to me…

Dieser kugelförmige kleine Racker (wohl #Dicyrtoma fusca) ist gerade mal 2 mm klein und ernährt sich vollständig vegan 🙂

I took this picture in January. I just happened to look in a puddle and saw a lot of yellow #springtails

Not much #nature to #iNat in Center City #Philadelphia in winter but these tiny pseudoscorpions, under some peeling tree bark, scared the hell out of me.
One crawled up my finger claws extended, like attack attack!
But are apparently harmless except to even smaller #springtails.

The family breakdown is much less complete. Many records are still identified only to order. Identifications are from barcode matches with identified specimens or work by expert curators.
5 of the 9 most represented families are difficult/inconspicuous #fly groups: Sciaridae, Cecidomyiidae, Chironomidae, Muscidae & Phoridae.
#Springtails are surprisingly common in Malaise traps
#Oecophoridae are massively diverse here.
Most of these are groups I would never manage to record otherwise.
3/5

How it's going! This is Pickletopia today. The #moss and #algae have mostly taken over, but the grass is still there. I lack the equipment to photograph them, but there are #springtails crawling around in there. I have seen #nematodes and they're probably still living. #mosstodon

👩🏾🔬 A typical lab-day at @imbe building artificial mini-landscapes to study the response of microarthropods #collembola to #habitatloss & #fragmentation. The results that are coming out are amazing!! 🔥
