Collembola (springtails) of Mary Mix McDonald Woods and nearby upland forests in Northeastern Illinois, USA.
Abstract
This catalog provides information on Collembola (springtails) collected as part of a year-long study of microarthropods in the leaf litter, soil surface, roots, and moss of mesic, dry mesic, upland forest, and buckthorn communities in Mary Mix McDonald Woods, Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe, Illinois, USA, and other nearby locations. The purpose of this catalog is to present the diversity of Collembola in a way that is an aid to the identification of many local springtails.
