Integrative Taxonomy Reveals a New Species of the <i>Eisenia andrei/fetida</i> Complex (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) From the Guizhou Plateau, China. [PDF]
We used mitochondrial COI genes and nuclear gene 28S rRNA genes to investigate the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of an unknown earthworm genus collected in Wangjiazhai Town, Zhongshan District, Liupanshui City. The results of molecular analyses supported it belongs to an Eisenia andrei/fetida complex.

Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates? [PDF]
Excluding invasive mammals is key to protecting native biodiversity, but it is unclear if their removal also restores ecosystem functions, especially those provided by invertebrates, such as decomposition, pollination and herbivory. Fenced ecosanctuaries on mainland New Zealand, which exclude most introduced mammals except mice, offer a unique ...

Gaps and Data Ambiguities in DNA Reference Libraries: A Limiting Factor for Molecular-Based Biodiversity Assessments Using Annelids as a Case Study. [PDF]
Regional DNA reference libraries are crucial for molecular biodiversity assessments, yet they remain incomplete, limiting their effectiveness. Using annelids from the Arabian Peninsula as a case study, we identified considerable gaps in species coverage and minimal representation in public databases.

Molecular Systematics of Limnodrilus (Annelida, Clitellata) [PDF]
The freshwater Limnodrilus worms (Clitellata: Naididae: Tubificinae) are segmented hermaphroditic annelids, bearing a unique clitellum (“girdle”) during sexual maturity.
