...such 'mites'... 😉

Thanks! Glad to have been able to supply some 🥰

Thanks so much Kym!

They're having a negative impact on forest ecosystems in particular, as they tend to munch through all the surface layers of leaf litter that usually accumulate there (home for other invertebrates, shelter for ground nesting birds and tree saplings).

Yep that’s largely true - there’s a few native species but most are introduced

Well thank you kindly, Mr P! I hope you're doing very well yourself 😊

Welcome aboard 😊

They vary widely

Why would anyone offer advice, the tiny pike idea is perfect.

That’s excellent news, well done for taking on the mantle. It’s great to know Peter Shaw’s work will continue on into the next generation! If you haven’t got the springtail records from my research group at Forest Research then let me know and I’ll put you in touch with them 😊
