Poduromorpha
The order (biology), order Poduromorpha is one of the three main groups of springtails (Collembola), tiny Hexapoda, hexapods related to insects. This group was formerly treated as a Taxonomic rank, superfamily Poduroidea. They can be best distinguished from the other springtail groups by their body shape. The Symphypleona are very round animals, almost spherical and the abdominal segments are not visible. Both Entomobryomorpha and Poduromorpha are long springtails with six visible abdominal segments. While Entomobryomorpha have the first thorax segment reduced, Poduromorpha retain all three. The Poduromorpha also tend to have short legs and a plump body, but more oval in shape than the Symphypleona. Their name means 'foot tail formed', deriving from their short, flat, Furcula (springtail), furcula. __TOC__ Systematics The Poduromorpha were, as Poduroidea, united with the Entomobryomorpha (then called Entomobryoidea) in a group called "Arthropleona", but this has more recently t ...

Springtail
Springtails (class Collembola) form the largest of the three lineages of modern Hexapoda, hexapods that are no longer considered insects. Although the three lineages are sometimes grouped together in a class called Entognatha because they have internal Arthropod mouthparts, mouthparts, they do not appear to be any more closely related to one another than they are to insects, which have external mouthparts. Springtails are omnivorous, free-living organisms that prefer moist conditions. They do not directly engage in the decomposition of organic matter, but contribute to it indirectly through the fragmentation of organic matter and the control of soil microbial communities. The word ''Collembola'' is from Ancient Greek 'glue' and 'peg'; this name was given due to the existence of the collophore, which was previously thought to stick to surfaces to stabilize the creature. Early DNA sequence studies suggested that Collembola represent a separate Lineage (evolution), evolutionary ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neanuridae
The family Neanuridae contains pudgy short-legged springtails of the order Poduromorpha. It was established by Carl Börner in 1901. Systematics There are six subfamilies currently recognized: * Caputanurininae * Frieseinae * Morulininae * Neanurinae * Pseudachorutinae * Uchidanurinae The peculiar genus '' Pseudoxenylla'' is of uncertain relationships and hence not assigned to a subfamily yet. Genera These 97 genera belong to the family Neanuridae: * '' Adbiloba'' Stach, 1951 * '' Aethiopella'' Handschin, 1942 * '' Aethiopellina'' Delamare, 1951 * '' Albanura'' Deharveng, 1982 * '' Americanura'' Cassagnau, 1983 * '' Anurida'' Laboulbene, 1865 * '' Anuridella'' Willem, 1906 * '' Arlesia'' Handschin, 1942 * '' Australonura'' * '' Balkanura'' Cassagnau, 1978 * '' Bilobella'' Caroli, 1912 * '' Blasconura'' Cassagnau, 1983 * '' Blasconurella'' * '' Caledonimeria'' Delamare-Deboutteville & Massoud, 1962 * '' Caledonura'' Deharveng, 1988 * '' Cansilianura'' Dallai & Fanc ...

Entomobryomorpha
The Entomobryomorpha are one of the three main groups (order) of springtails (Collembola), tiny hexapods related to insects. This group was formerly treated as a superfamily, the Entomobryoidea. They can be best distinguished from the other springtail groups by their body shape. The Symphypleona are very round animals, almost spherical. The Poduromorpha are also very plump but have a more oval shape. The Entomobryomorpha, by contrast, contain the slimmest springtails. They either have short legs and antennae, but their long bodies set them apart, or long legs and antennae, as well as well-developed furculae; these are the most characteristic members of the order. Systematics The Entomobryomorpha were, as Entomobryoidea, united with the Poduromorpha (then called Poduroidea) in a group called "Arthropleona", but this has more recently turned out to be paraphyletic. Actually, the Entomobryomorpha, the Poduromorpha, and the third springtaill lineage – the Symphypleona – are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Symphypleona
The order Symphypleona, also known as the globular springtails, is one of the three main groups of springtails (Collembola), tiny hexapods related to insects. When the springtails were still believed to be an order of insects, the Symphypleona were ranked as a suborder. They can be best distinguished from the other springtail groups by their body shape. The Symphypleona are very round animals, almost spherical, and usually have long antennae. The Poduromorpha, by contrast, always have short legs and a plump body, but more oval in shape than the Symphypleona. The Entomobryomorpha are the slimmest springtails, some with long and some with short legs and antennae, but always with a very slender body. Systematics The Symphypleona order was previously suggested to also contain family Neelidae, as a very apomorphic relative in the Sminthuridae superfamily. Phylogenetic studies however suggest Neelidae to be the only family of Neelipleona order.Gao, Yan; Bu, Yun & Luan, Yun-X ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
