For example, one species of collembolan, Folsomia regularis, may constitute 60% of the total collembolan density in polar deserts. From Wordnik.com. [Arctic environments north of the treeline] Reference
Other noteworthy fauna include cave-dwelling species such as a collembolan Tricanthella frigida, an endemic found in Gavarnie cirque at 2,500 m, and coleopteran Tipnus unicolor and Speonomus bolivari. From Wordnik.com. [Pyrenees-Mont Perdu, France and Spain] Reference
However, it is known that some species enter a reproductive diapause when reared at constant temperature in the laboratory (e. g., the collembolan Hypogastrura tullbergi), and that this diapause can only be terminated by exposure to cold. From Wordnik.com. [Conservation of arctic species] Reference
The collembolan Vertagopus brevicaudus a "steppe" species; bbizonal steppe and tundra species; cthis group characterizes the southern tundra subzone; dthis group is relatively small, but is valuable in subdividing the tundra zone into subzones.
