DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04896-w
Abstract: Trait-environment interactions have contributed to the remarkable plant radiations in the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of southern Africa. Whether such interactions have also resulted in the diversification of the invertebrate fauna, independently of direct associations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-017-0878-0
Abstract: Many ecological interactions in communities take place between consumers and the organisms they feed on. Continuous surplus of specific nutritional compounds in the diet may lead to evolutionary changes in the metabolic capacity of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10905-017-9620-6
Abstract: Chemical substances excreted from individuals are regarded as chemo-sensory signals that induce aggregation in Collembola. However, chemical or physiological evidence is required to identify the chemical composition of signals responsible for aggregation behavior. Present study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2018.11.004
Abstract: The climatic variability hypothesis was applied to the thermal tolerance of edaphic and cave Collembola occupying contrasting environments. Collembola belonged to four categories - trogloxene, subtroglophile, eutroglophile and troglobiont - with a different degree of… read more here.
