Toxicogenomics of the Freshwater Oligochaete, Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata), in Acute Water-Only Exposure to Arsenic. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
A toxicogenomic approach was used for toxicity evaluation of arsenic in the aquatic environment, and differential gene expression was investigated from 24 h and 96 h water-only acute toxicity tests with the aquatic oligochaete, Tubifex tubifex (Annelida,

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemiclepsis yangtzenensis (Clitellata: Glossiphoniidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2022
We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a recently described new leech species named Hemiclepsis yangtzenensis Yang & Bolotov 2021 collected in central China. The mitochondrial genome is 14,984 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, all of which are encoded on a ...

A proposed order-level classification in Oligochaeta (Annelida, Clitellata)

Zootaxa, 2021
The purpose of our contribution is to propose a robust and practical order-level classification of the families of Oligochaeta, that is, non-leech Clitellata. The order level is mandatory in Linnaean rank-based classification and is also required in many internet-based biodiversity databases.

Phylogenomic analyses of Crassiclitellata support major Northern and Southern Hemisphere clades and a Pangaean origin for earthworms

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background Earthworms (Crassiclitellata) are a diverse group of annelids of substantial ecological and economic importance. Earthworms are primarily terrestrial infaunal animals, and as such are probably rather poor natural dispersers.
