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: 10.1007/s11356-017-0806-4
Abstract: Biochar is a product of the thermal decomposition of biomass under a limited supply of oxygen and can be deriving from pyrolysis or gasification. As the product is rich in highly recalcitrant carbon, it has… read more here.

Developmental expression and evolution of hexamerin and haemocyanin from Folsomia candida (Collembola)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Insect Molecular Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/imb.12585
Abstract: Haemocyanins constitute a group of copper‐containing respiratory proteins, and hexamerins were derived from hexapod haemocyanin but lost the ability to transport oxygen and serve as storage proteins. Although hexamerins have been reported in most insect… read more here.
