“…Folsomia quadrioculata is a Holarctic soil and litter-dwelling (hemi-edaphic) species, abundant in many habitat types, ranging from open meadows and dense forests in the temperate region to dry ridges and wet beach vegetation in the arctic (Ponge, 1993(Ponge, , 2000Hertzberg et al, 1994;Deharveng & Lek, 1995;Birkemoe & Sømme, 1998;Chernov et al, 2010;Chimitova et al, 2010;Hågvar, 2010). It is a sexually reproducing species, with indeterminate growth and life cycles ranging from several generations per year in continental Europe (Haarløv, 1960;Grégoire-Wibo, 1976), to more than a 1-year life cycle in the arctic (Birkemoe & Sømme, 1998;Hertzberg et al, 2000).…”

1. Life history traits play a central role in adaptation to specific environmental conditions. Egg development time, hatchling, and egg batch size in 10 populations of the soil‐dwelling collembolan species Folsomia quadrioculata (Tullberg, 1871) from diverse habitats across arctic and temperate regions, ranging in latitude from 43 to 81°N were studied. 2. For all traits, 15 °C was used as the reference temperature. Phenotypic plasticity was studied by changing temperature to 10 and 20 °C in hatchling size, and to 20 °C in egg development time. The effect of latitude, climatic zone, and summer temperature at their sites of sampling was tested to address the hypotheses that populations from cooler areas would have (i) a faster temperature‐dependent egg development, (ii) a larger hatchling size, (iii) smaller egg batches and (iv) higher phenotypic plasticity 3. The first and fourth hypothesis were not supported, whereas the second and third were partly supported when including the whole latitudinal gradient, but not within regions. Plasticity showed a complex pattern, including large differences between populations from similar macroclimates and considerable similarity between some populations from contrasting climates. Small effects of latitude and macroclimatic variables emphasised that local climate and microhabitat should be taken into account when evaluating thermal conditions as possible drivers of population‐specific differences in soil‐dwelling ectotherms. 4. There was a trade‐off between egg batch and hatchling sizes. A weak correlation between the population mean egg development time and the mean hatchling size suggested that the populations are, or have been, exposed to differential selection.

“…In coniferous and broad-leaved forests of European Russia, the total diversity of Collembola is about the same order of magnitude, while the local diversity (at the sample level) is lower in broadleaved forests (Chernov et al, 2010). We assume that the spatial structure of Collembola diversity in these forests varies significantly at different spatial scales.…”

Collembola is a group of numerous ubiquitous small soil-dwelling arthropods decomposing the plant residues. The study analyses the diversity structure of this group in mesic conditions of coniferous, mixed, and broad-leaved forests. Sample plots were located in three Protected Areas in the Moscow Region (Losiny Ostrov National Park and the Valuyevsky Forest Park) and Smolensk Region (Smolenskoe Poozerye National Park). In total, 70 species of Collembola were registered in the forest litter. Two Collembola species were of Asian origin, namely Appendisotoma stebayevae (noted in Europe for the first time) and Vertagopus asiaticus (the second record of this species in the study area). The number of species was close to the number of genera, indicating the allochthonous character of the forest fauna of Collembola of the central Russian Plain. A multiscale approach was applied for sampling design. This allowed us to assess the diversity of Collembola at various spatial scales: from 1 m to hundreds of kilometres. The study scheme included two regions, four localities, 12 sample sites, and 36 plots; the latter was 1 m2 (the smallest area unit). The data analysis was based on the concept of alpha-beta diversity accompanied by the additive partitioning method. The region (the largest area unit) was the most important factor in forming the species diversity. The type of forest litter (coniferous vs. broad-leaved) was less significant; the habitat heterogeneity factor made even a less contribution. On average, 1 m2 of forest litter comprised about a quarter of the entire list of Collembola species in the studied forests. The species richness of Collembola in the broad-leaved forests was more variable in space and in time compared to coniferous forests and mixed forests; a transitional pattern was observed. The species composition of Collembola varied between the seasons of the year by about a quarter when considering the same sites of coniferous and mixed forests. In broad-leaved forests of various areas, seasonal changes in species composition varied highly, from very pronounced to insignificant. The new concept of plant litter traits is discussed as a factor for affecting the patterns of the structure and dynamics of the Collembola species diversity.

“…Hitherto among 33 described species of the genus Arrhopalites s. str., 19 were reported from Palaearctic region and only cosmopolitan A. caecus was recorded at several localities in Russia: from Kursk Oblast in the west to Sakhalin Island in the east (Grinbergs 1960, Buinova et al 1963, Borisov 1967, Stebaeva 1976, Solntseva & Moldova 1979, Solntseva et al 1982, Dobrolyubova & Shveenkova 2004, Babenko 2007, Chernov et al 2010, Shveenkova 2010. Here the second species of the genus from this extensive territory, namely from the region of Lake Baikal in East Siberia, is presented.…”

A new springtail species of the family Arrhopalitidae, Arrhopalites potapovi sp. nov., is described. It belongs to the caecus species group characterized by 3,2,1,1,1 anterior setae on dens and separates from Arrhopalites caecus (Tullberg) and other congeners by strongly differentiated cuticular spines on sixth abdominal segment, shape of female subanal appendages and foot complex. It was found under the loose bark of trees from two localities along Lake Baikal and it is the second representative of the genus Arrhopalites Börner sensu stricto in Russia.
