Addition to Iranian Springtails fauna and a checklist of the Collembola from Kurdistan province

Abstract

The study was conducted in oak forests and the conifer stands in Marivan county located in west of Kurdistan province. The leaf litter and soils samples from these forests were taken during 2016 to 2019 and specimens were extracted by the Berlese funnels. Results of the study led to identification of 39 species of 11 families. The three genera

Springtails (Hexapoda, Collembola) of Savadkuh (Mazandaran) with the description of a new species of Isotomurus Börner (Entomobryomorpha, Isotomidae)

“…This checklist was once more updated in 2020 with 232 Collembola species (Shayanmehr et al, 2020b). Subsequently, 35 new records and 24 new species of Collembola have been described from different regions of Iran (Vargovitsh & Kahrarian, 2020;Shayanmehr et al, 2020aShayanmehr et al, , 2022Shayanmehr et al, , 2023Mehrafrooz Mayvan et al, 2021, 2022Smolis & Skarżyński, 2020;Yahyapour et al, 2020aYahyapour et al, , 2020bYahyapour et al, , 2021Yahyapour et al, , 2022Bakhshi et al, 2022;Vahedi Moghadam et al, 2022; Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics 2024  10 (1) Yoosefi Lafooraki et al, 2020a, 2020c, 2023bAhmadi et al, 2023;Rabieh et al, 2023). Collembola species which are known as biological indicators play important roles in soil decomposition and nutrient circularity and are considered useful tools to determine soil fertility.…”
