Water and ion transport across the eversible vesicles in the collophore of the springtail Orchesella cincta [RESEARCH ARTICLE]

Barbora Konopova, Dennis Kolosov, and Michael J. O'Donnell Springtails (Collembola) are ancient close relatives of the insects. The eversible vesicles are their unique paired transporting organs, which consist of an...

How does the water springtail optically locate suitable habitats? Spectral sensitivity of phototaxis and polarotaxis in Podura aquatica [RESEARCH ARTICLE]

Adam Egri and György Kriska Optical detection of horizontally polarized light is widespread among aquatic insects. This process usually occurs in the UV or blue spectral ranges. Recently, it was...
