Soil animals, of which micro-arthropods constitute a very high proportion, do not merely play a subsidiary role in the formation of different humus forms, but a most decisive one (Kubiëna, 1955). In order to know more about this role, however, it is necessary to understand something of the biology of these animals. Now, the Collembola are among the most abundant soil arthropods both as regards numbers of species and numbers of individuals, but although some published information on the biology and life-histories of some species exists, it is surprising how little is in fact known.
