DNA barcoding is an effective species identification method, but it depends strongly on the assumption that each specimen is represented by a single barcode sequence. Using high‐throughput sequencing, we demonstrate that North European sawflies frequently harbour multiple full‐length, seemingly functional barcode variants within a single individual ...

New records of Enchytraeidae (Oligochaeta) from Spitsbergen, Svalbard
During a survey of soil-inhabiting enchytraeids at Spitsbergen, Svalbard, two species, Mesenchytraeus argentatus and Bryodrilus parvus, not previously recorded from the island were found.

New earthworm records from Turkey (Clitellata: Lumbricidae, Megascolecidae) [PDF]
Elaboration of an earthworm material collected in different parts of Turkey resulted in recording altogether eighteen species and subspecies. The Levantine Dendrobaena orientalis Černosvitov, 1940 was reported for the first time outside the Levant.

ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity distribution is fundamental for ecology, biogeography, and conservation. However, persistent challenges arise from the inaccessibility of many regions and habitats. Subterranean environments, in particular, host highly distinctive and specialised faunal assemblages, yet their investigation is hindered by ...

Sampling in the summers of 1978 - 1979 in 112 localities on 18 islands in the Faroe group yielded ten species of earthworms. All ten also occur in neighbouring areas (Iceland, the Hebrides, western Norway) with the exception of Octolasiuin lacteum and ...

Abstract Scherotheca is amongst the most diverse earthworm genera within Lumbricidae, exhibiting striking ecomorphological radiation—from small epigeic‐like forms to giant anecic species. Accurate systematics is critical for exploring such diversification.

ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.
