Here, we describe a simple method adapted for high-throughput protocols allowing voucher specimen recovery for Collembola and by extension for other soft-bodied small arthropods. A standard extraction protocol was tested to examine the effects of lysis duration (1, 2, 4, 12 h) on DNA concentration, amplification success and specimen condition. Good quality DNA was obtained after 1 h of lysis, w...

Green infrastructures play a key role in the functionality and resilience of urban ecosystems. The physical, including thickness, chemical biological properties Technosols green on rooftops are highly variable, leading to more or less favourable conditions for soil biodiversity. aim this study was investigate abundance diversity bacteria, fungi, nematodes, collembola plants communities relation...

Green roofs are often promoted as a mean to counter the negative environmental effects of urbanization on nature and increase amount green space in cities. enhance aboveground biodiversity, especially herbivores pollinators. However, if what way they support belowground more specifically soil fauna, is rarely studied. Therefore, we evaluated diversity dominant group Collembola (springtails), tw...
