From August 27 to 30 Matty Berg, Kees van Gestel and Nico van Straalen organized the VIIth Apterygota seminar. This meeting is one of a series running over nearly three decades now. It is a meeting place for taxonomists, ecologists and evolutionary biologists who share their latest research on wingless hexapods (Protura, Diplura, Collembola, Microcoryphia and Zygentoma). The meeting was hosted by the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) on the island of Texel, and the PR staff of this institute took active part in the organization. One of the programme items was a field excursion into the mud slacks and dune ecosystems of the island. While most of the days had been cloudy and rainy, the excursion took place under a clear sky. When the company approached the sea-side hundreds of Anurida maritima were exposing themselves on the boulders and in the flood-mark. This springtail is one of the few truly salt-adapted hexapods. Later in the dunes many Podura aquatica were seen floating on freshwater pools. So the seminar not only staged the latest scientific presentations on Apterygota but also offered the opportunity to collect some of the typically Dutch Collembola from the wild.
