The first leech body fossil predates estimated hirudinidan origins by 200 million years [PDF]

PeerJ
Clitellata is a major annelid clade comprising oligochaetes (e.g., earthworms) and hirudineans (e.g., leeches). Due to their scant fossil record, the origins of clitellates, particularly Hirudinea, are poorly known. Here, we describe the first leech body

Comparison of Morphological and DNA-Based Identification Methods to Assess Earthworm (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) Diversity at 25 Permanent Soil Monitoring Sites in Germany. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The most important reason for the lack of a German nationwide and standardised survey of soil organisms is probably the time‐consuming and expensive identification of soil invertebrates. The present contribution should contribute to solving this problem.
