Collembola

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Water and ion transport across the eversible vesicles in the collophore of the springtail Orchesella cincta
    Barbora Konopová, Dennis Kolosov, Michael J. O'Donnell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb200691 doi: 10.1242/jeb.200691 Published 20 May 2019

    Summary: An inverse Ramsay assay and electrophysiology demonstrate that the eversible vesicles in the collophore of springtails absorb water and transport Na+, K+, Cl−, H+ and NH4+.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    How does the water springtail optically locate suitable habitats? Spectral sensitivity of phototaxis and polarotaxis in Podura aquatica
    Ádám Egri, György Kriska
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb199760 doi: 10.1242/jeb.199760 Published 30 April 2019

    Summary: The hexapod Podura aquatica possesses at least two visual pigments and its polarization sensitivity functions in the shorter, blue spectral range following the tendency of polarotactic aquatic insects.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Polarization sensitivity in Collembola: an experimental study of polarotaxis in the water-surface-inhabiting springtail Podura aquatica
    Ádám Egri, Alexandra Farkas, György Kriska, Gábor Horváth
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2567-2576; doi: 10.1242/jeb.139295

    Summary: In behavioural choice experiments, the water springtail Podura aquatica shows polarotaxis to horizontally polarized light as well as phototaxis.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Gluing the ‘unwettable’: soil-dwelling harvestmen use viscoelastic fluids for capturing springtails
    Jonas O. Wolff, Axel L. Schönhofer, Clemens F. Schaber, Stanislav N. Gorb
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 3535-3544; doi: 10.1242/jeb.108852
