Rethinking ecotoxicological paradigms: microbial-mediated tolerance and life-history trade-offs of Folsomia candida in hydrocarbon-contaminated groundwater.

The ecological relevance of soil invertebrates in contaminated groundwater systems remains largely unexplored, particularly under chronic exposure to petroleum-derived compounds. Here, we provide the first evidence of stable colonization and functional persistence of the model collembolan Folsomia candida within a hydr...
