Schematic representation of the interactions among the plant Solanum lycopersicum, the fungus Trichoderma afroharzianum strain T22, and the phytophagous insect Spodoptera littoralis and its gut microbiome. The colonization of S. lycopersicum roots by the fungus T. afroharzianum strain T22 (1) systemically conditions the plant (2), generating a dysbiosis of the gut microbiome in S. littoralis larvae feeding on tomato leaves with neither structural damages to the midgut epithelium and peritrophic matrix nor alterations in the digestive capacity of the insect. This dysbiosis, among others, affects symbiotic bacteria of the genus Enterococcus and the functional capability of Enterococcus casseliflavus to nutritionally support the insect host with sugars and amino acids (3), with a consequent negative impact on S. littoralis development and survival (4).

And why do we need to know? - Make it stand out Shots of soil animals feeding on different resources, from micro-to macro-scales. Microarthropods like springtails (A) and mites (B) feed mainly on fungi and leaf litter. Tardigrades (‘water bears’) don't mind having single-celled soil algae in their diet (C). Microscopic protists, extremely diverse in forms and feeding habits, also feed on each other – in this case a testate amoeba catches a ciliate (D). In comparison to these organisms, earthworms are so large that they swallow many small animals and microbes together with soil organic matter (E).

A money spider that has caught a springtail represents one of the most common predator-prey interactions in soil food webs (C). Many soil-associated mites are parasitic, like this one, clinging on its bigger relative – a harvestman (D).

And why do we need to know? - Make it stand out Figure 3. Feeding of soil animals supports vital soil functions. Feeding on dead organic matter (detritivory, brown) regulates decomposition, carbon sequestration and supports soil structure. Feeding on bacteria and fungi (microbivory, dark yellow) indirectly regulates nutrient cycling in soil and plant growth. Feeding on living plants and algae (herbivory, green) directly affects plant biomass and contributes to dispersal of lower plants (mosses, algae). Feeding on other animals and protists (predation, red) regulates prey populations and thus supports biodiversity and stability of soil communities. All these functions are jointly supported by a plethora of litter- and soil-dwelling organisms, from micrometres to centimetres in body size.

Up to now only one truly marine littoral species of earthworms had been known, the peregrine Pontodrilus litoralis. The second species was discovered by the specialist and "earthworm species hunter" Samuel James with a short look at the material ("this is a new species"), but it's a long way from discovery to valid description. This work was carried out in the group of Somsak Panha at the Chulalongkorn University of Bangkok. The paper includes a revision of the sister species P. litoralis and a comparison of both species at DNA-level. Left: Three specimens right after fixation. Right: Drawings of taxonomic structures, morphology and anatomy. Bottom: Molecular comparison of the new species with its sister species.

Pichincha, Ecuador, April 1990. This deep-burrowing giant earthworm was well-known to the local people; they knew when and where it would crawl up to the surface. András Zicsi (1928-2015) was Hungarian but his mother-tongue was German. He was a researcher in the Soil Zoology Group at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and gave courses at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. In 137 papers he described 237 new species of earthworms, mostly from Europe and South America; he erected and revised numerous genera, wrote identificatin keys ... His earthworm collection – among the largest worldwide – consists of roughly 100.000 specimens and more than 800 species. His legacy is now continued by one of his students, Csaba Csuzdi, the leading European earthworm taxonomist.

In biosensors with memory, the reporter is induced by the first instance of the environmental cue and remains on thereafter.

a wide verity of soil habitats. Many archaea are able to live in extreme conditions, such as volcano vents, permafrost, and areas of high salinity. Up to 10% of microbial cells in temperate soils are likely archaea. Most of the differences between archaea and bacteria are genetic. https://www.globalsoilbiodiversity.org/new-blog/2018/11/6/bacteria monthly 0.5 2019-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9033f1f8370a3700df6f4b/1541613791491-ECKNDWKZN9VYQRMB04DT/bacteria-62993_1920.jpg Atlas Chapter 2 - Bacteria - Bacteria: Bacteria are single-celled organisms found in all soil habitats. They break-down a wide range of dead plant and animal material and are critical to recycling energy and nutrients in ecosystems. Bacteria are incredibly diverse, and a few of the most important phyla in soils are Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Cyanobacteria. https://www.globalsoilbiodiversity.org/new-blog/2018/11/6/protists monthly 0.5 2019-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9033f1f8370a3700df6f4b/1541606338765-6UXYJKSSOXFVR9QNWYOZ/image-asset.png Atlas Chapter 2 - Protists - Protists Protists are single-celled eukaryotes, which means they contain a nucleus and other organelles within the cell. Some protists form colonies that can appear to resemble a multi-cellular organism, such as slime moulds. Other examples of protists are red and green algae, amoebeas, and several plant pathogens including Phytophthora infestans, which causes the potato blight that lead to the Irish Potato Famine. https://www.globalsoilbiodiversity.org/new-blog/2018/11/6/fungi monthly 0.5 2019-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9033f1f8370a3700df6f4b/1541611657290-C9MCKUBQD0NGYKVJU2NI/image-asset.png Atlas Chapter 2 - Fungi - Fungi Fungi can range in size from single-celled yeasts to mushrooms to networks of mycelia kilometers long. In fact, the largest organism on earth is an Armillaria solidipes (honey fungus) covering 6.5 sq km of forest in North America! Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plants, trading nutrients from the soil for carbohydrates produced by the plant. Fungi play a central role in decomposing wood and are important to cycling energy and nutrients from dead material back to living organisms. https://www.globalsoilbiodiversity.org/new-blog/2018/11/6/lichen monthly 0.5 2019-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9033f1f8370a3700df6f4b/1541619848460-PGNH2RZ05DQWVM01K4D5/lichen-2699410_1920.jpg Atlas Chapter 2 - Lichen - Lichen Lichens are a symbiosis of a fungus and one or more photosynthetic partners, typically a green alga (see Protists) and/or cyanobacterium (see Bacteria). Lichen taxonomy is based on the fungal partner, and reflects the lichen body displays characteristics that are unique from the fungus or photosynthesizer alone.

Almost all plants perform photosynthesis, using energy from sunlight to fix CO2 from the atmosphere into carbohydrates. They are a conduit of energy (carbon in the form of carbohydrates) from the atmosphere to the belowground community. In turn, plants rely on soil for water and nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous. Plants are often the foundation of terrestrial biological communities, and soil organisms are the foundation of nutrient cycling on which plants rely. https://www.globalsoilbiodiversity.org/new-blog/2018/11/6/tardigrade monthly 0.5 2019-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9033f1f8370a3700df6f4b/1541548493691-0QJTWITJDL8VFOQRW4IG/Screen+Shot+2018-11-06+at+4.54.30+PM.png Atlas Chapter 2 - Tardigrade - Tardigrades Tardigrada is a phylum of microscopic animals commonly called “water bears” or “moss piglets.” Tardigrades are known for being incredible tough, withstanding periods of extreme drought and cold. They eat bacteria, plants, and other microscopic organisms.
