These can be represented by many taxa, such as
Collembola, Acari, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Thysanoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, and Psocoptera (Bregonci et al., 2010).
(2014) Biodiversidad de
Collembola (Hexapoda: Entognatha) en Mexico.
Analysis of rich materials of
Collembola from GSMNP revealed a new species of Neanurini.
(1999) showed that sludge contaminated by heavy metals did not affect the total abundance of the
Collembola order, but exerted effects on the species, because according to these authors, some species of this group exhibit different behavior relating to a few elements, and some tolerate soils contaminated by heavy metals such as Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni, Cr and Pb, while others show no tolerance levels.

grandiflora fueron Acari (837),
Collembola (251), y Polyxenida (71), y en E.
The order Hymenoptera was the most abundant throughout the study period (4,789 individuals), followed by Coleoptera (2,914), Diptera (1,985) and
Collembola (1,716).
More than 11,000 invertebrates were captured in pitfalls, excluding
Collembola and known introduced species.
Collembola e Aranae foram coletados em maior quantidade na primavera, reduzindo significativamente nas demais estacoes.
Arthropoda accounted for 91% of prey items and included 7 classes (Arachnida, Chilopoda,
Collembola, Copepoda, Diplopoda, Insecta, and Malacostraca [Amphipods and Isopods]).
Collembola communities were stratified in tropical rainforests, but diversity did not vary between the ground and canopy (Rogers & Kitching 1998).
Another highlight may be given to the microfauna group
Collembola, being present in all vegetation formations, mainly during the dry period.
The groups of captured individuals were classified in the following taxonomic levels: Diplopoda (class); Acari (Subclass); Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera,
Collembola, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera, Orthoptera, Pseudoscorpiones, Scorpiones, Solifugae (order); Formicidae (family) and the larvae of Coleoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera (morphospecies).
Entre los insectos colectados, se logro criar en laboratorio una especie del orden
Collembola (
Collembola sp.), la cual sirvio como alimento (solo durante una o dos ocasiones) para mantener a las aranas, esto con objeto de que las aranas estuvieran en iguales condiciones de alimentacion antes de su primer encuentro con las presas experimentales.
Some of them were reported to be
Collembola (springtails), Acarina (mites) from the Glycyphagidae family, and Diptera pupae of the Phoridae family.
