agreement with the high quality <strong>of</strong> the <strong>springtail</strong><br />

Isotoma anglicana, the sister species <strong>of</strong> I. viridis<br />

[Marcussen et al., 1999]. However, not all<br />

<strong>springtail</strong>s <strong>of</strong> the genus Isotoma are high-quali-<br />

1896 is a toxic prey [T<strong>of</strong>t & Wise, 1999a]. <strong>The</strong><br />

quality <strong>of</strong> S. <strong>curviseta</strong> is apparently superior to<br />

that <strong>of</strong> I. viridis; in spite <strong>of</strong> the significantly<br />

smaller consumption rate <strong>of</strong> S. <strong>curviseta</strong>, spi-
