Collembolans comprise one of the most abundant groups of soil invertebrates within the arthropods. The parthenogenetic species Folsomia candida (Willem, 1902) is the most well-studied representative, being used since the beginning of the 1960s as a model organism for assessing toxicity of chemicals in soil. In this paper we aimed at answering three questions by exposing four different species of springtails (F.

We compared the toxicity of the neonicotinoids imidacloprid, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, and clothianidin in terms of the survival and reproduction of 2 species of soil invertebrates, Folsomia candida and Eisenia andrei. Tests were performed using LUFA 2.2 natural soil, following standard protocols aimed at answering 2 questions: 1) Is there a difference in the toxicity between pure compound and its formulation? and 2) Is there a difference in the sensitivity of the species exposed to the same compound? For E.
