A giant Jurassic hunter: the earliest dipluran and its implications for hexapod body pattern evolution
Abstract. Hexapoda comprises the hyperdiverse insects and three cryptic, early-diverging lineages, Protura, Collembola, and Diplura, that are key to unders

I have been corrected. These are springtails (class Collembola). My apologies.

Yes! And as ex: leaf litter, this is squarely in your wheelhouse, right?
Fun fact: the person who brought this in originally thought it was a "beetle or collembola" (before being able look at through a decent 'scope). 🙂

Sminthurinus bimaculatus or trinotatus.
One observation report on trinotatus and two on bimaculatus here in Finland. All of those reports are fairly vague and supposedly not necessarily true species identifications.

Although, in the phylogeny it is more closely related to Insecta proper than are Collembola, Diplura, and Protura...so idk if it's exactly insect-crustacean transition. It questions whether those groups terrestrialized separately

Time to check all the alpine #SoilFauna from soil samples & pitfall traps from the Ben Avon plateau (@cairngormsnews.bsky.social) in #Scotland.
After a nice sampling season, I am in the soil labs of @hutton.ac.uk in Aberdeen.
Very promising first results already! 🤞
