Soil animal communities display a greater variety of feeding activities, known as trophic diversity, within agricultural ecosystems and tropical regions compared to woodlands and temperate zones.

"Crucially, both field and laboratory data demonstrated a significant reduction in particle size in casts compared to soil (6.48% and 19.8%, respectively), supporting the potential earthworm effects on MP (microplastic) mechanical attrition. Polymer compositions in casts mirrored those in soils, exhibiting a nonselective and passive ingestion pathway. Beyond physical transport, the formation of field biogenic polymer aggregates facilitated chemical aging of MPs, as evidenced by elevated oxidation indices. This process was likely accelerated by the enrichment of plastic-degrading microbial taxa (e.g., Flavobacterium) within casts, which exhibited up to a 35.6-fold increase in relative abundance."

It's week 3 of fatherhood, and today I was granted special dispensation from shopping, housework, nappies and feeding, to do a brief spot of macrophotography in the sunshine, brilliant!
The highlight was this incredible Oribatid mite, sporting long defensive spines (Neotrichozetes spinulosa). I've nicknamed it the Hellraiser mite, which seems to be catching on - feel free to use it too!

My slightly late offering for day ten of #invertober (common earthworm) 🪱
Did you know earthworms have a special lip-like first head segment called a prostomium (meaning 'before the mouth')? They use it to sense and manipulate food, and move through soil!

Did someone bury a tiny lemon?
Nope, this is an earthworm cocoon!
After mating, both earthworms will produce a cocoon like this (they're hermaphrodites), containing a fertilised egg. Inside, a baby earthworm will grow, before hatching out the end like a tiny pink noodle. Inside the cocoons, wormlings are protected from drought, flooding and low oxygen conditions, and will hatch when conditions are good again!

Soil ecology walk #8
The soil air. Find out why the soil atmosphere is quite different from the air we breathe...

Join me on soil ecology walk #7 about soil water
(Pay no attention to the ocean behind me, that's where some of that soil water ends up)
-
Soil ecology walk #2 is online.
Join me on this short stroll through a snow-covered Berlin, when I explain the difference between necromass and biomass and why this is important.

Last field work day for 2024 🤠
Snowy, not too cold but very nice view over the #LTSER area Matschertal/Val Mazia.Replaced a #SoilTemp logger at 2500m that was destroyed by cows...
No metal cage resists a cow's rage 🐄Further, checked on of #EuracResearch|s #AlpEnv meteo station at 2400m.

I was blown away by this very unusual white-pigmented morph of a familiar giant springtail species (H. spinosa), which I found recently under a log in a tree fern forest in Kaikōura, Aotearoa.
These springtails normally have either yellow or orange coloured spines, so this was a very special little sproinglet indeed!

In New Zealand, the invertebrate life is mostly nocturnal, so for macrophotography it's best to go out with your camera at night.
I'm from the UK, so a bit wary of going into the forest after dark, but I'm slowly getting used to it here (while still taking safety precautions of course). It's absolutely worth it - you see so many more creatures and can get amazing behaviour shots like this springtail feeding on fungi!

New paper out in Nature Communications, describing work of 4 PhD students in the lab.
Our work highlights the importance of considering factor similarity in future research on interacting factors.

I've been in New Zealand for three months now, and seen three of the five species of endemic Holacanthella 'Giant' springtails - not bad!
Let's hope the next two months bring the remaining two species to my camera 🤞
(In order: H. duospinosa, H. paucispinosa, H. spinosa)
