Abstract
Abstract Earlier sections of this book have covered interactions of Collembola with their abiotic and biotic environments. In this Chapter, the distribution of different species on the local through to global scale is examined. Following a discussion of observation and sampling techniques (Section 9.2), the distribution of springtails in space and time is reviewed (Section 9.3). Critically examined are the proposals that presence or absence of certain species of Collembola, or characteristic assemblages of species, can be used to indicate properties of habitats that would other wise be difficult to elucidate (Section 9.4). Conservation of Collembola is discussed (Section 9.5) and the Chapter ends with a short review of the biology and distribution of Collembola that occur in caves (Section 9.6).
