The Ecology of Symphyla. Part Ii. Seasonal Soil Migrations

Abstract: The seasonal changes in vertical distribution of Scutigerella immaculata Newport in the soil were studied. In bare soil outdoors there were high surface number's in spring, low in summer, with a second increase in autumn. The distribution pattern was similar in bare greenhouse soil, except that spring migrations to the surface soil occurred earlier, the summer exodus was more marked, and the autumn increase much reduced. Growing plants attracted Scutigerella immaculata to the surface even under adverse soil co… Show more

“…These animals are highly hygrotactic, and survive only in a soil atmosphere of 100% R.H. [77]. Symphyla are said to be extremely voracious, and will attack vegetable matter at an earlier stage of decomposition than will many other soil-inhabiting invertebrates [78].…”

“…Oribatids also are thought to contribute to the deep mixing of organic material by their movements to, and deposition of feces in, lower layers of the soil profile [36]. Similarly, the tendency for symphylans to move rapidly up and down the soil profile serves to distribute their feces widely throughout the soil [78]. Fecal materials are major constituents contributing to the formation of stable soil aggregates (see discussion below), which are important in maintaining adequate water infiltration and drainage [222].…”

“…Trên các loại đất này, rết vườn có xu hướng tạo thành các điểm phân bố co cụm với diện tích một vài mét vuông đến vài mẫu. Các điểm ổ co cụm như vậy có thể được duy trì từ năm này sang năm khác với sự thay đổi nhỏ trong các quần thể và chỉ lây lan một chút ra xung quanh [3].…”
