Springtails have been found to be susceptible to fungicides (Frampton 1988). Rove beetles Tachyporus spp. declined substantially in numbers between 1970 and 1990 in a Sussex study, possibly because they feed on fungi as well as live prey, and foliar fungicides may have thus indirectly affected them (Aebischer 1991). ................
