Example Sentences:

(2) Correlations with other arthropods suggest that Mesostigmata are opportunistic predators, preying upon dipteran larvae, Collembola and other mites, and preyed upon by larger predatory insect larvae.
(3) This was probably because of a faster excretion of the chemical by the beetles than by the collembolas.
(4) During the test period no conversion of [14C]PCP-Na took place in the yeast, but the collembolas and beetles metabolized 50 and 59%, respectively.
(5) The density of total microarthropods and major groups, namely Acarina and Collembola, suffered a statistically significant and persistent decline in the aldrin 30 EC (0.25%)- and endosulfan 35 EC (0.33%)-treated soil of wheat fields.

(12) A brief description of larvae of cestodes of A. arctica at their different developmental stages in experimentally infected collembola Onychiurus (Protaphorura) taimyrica and O.
Furcula
Definition:
(n.) A forked process; the wishbone or furculum.
Example Sentences:
