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

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.

Comparison of complete mitochondrial genome sequences in the Aporrectodea caliginosa species group (Annelida, Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys
We present for the first time the complete mitochondrial genomes (mt genomes) of the earthworms Aporrectodea caliginosa and Ap. trapezoides (Clitellata, Megadrili) collected in Hungary and Korea, respectively.

Size spectra of the edaphic fauna of typical Argiudol soils of the Rolling Pampa Region, Argentina [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023
Soil-dwelling organisms populate the spaces—referred to as interstices—between the litter on the soil surface and the pores in the soil's organo-mineral matrix.

A georeferenced database of the edaphic biota currently available for Argentina [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023
Soils have been studied and classified in terms of their physical and chemical characteristics, while the knowledge about biodiversity and the ecosystem processes that they support is lagging behind.

The genome sequence of the Cockspur worm, Bimastos rubidus (Savigny, 1826) (Crassiclitellata: Lumbricidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Bimastos rubidus (Cockspur worm; Annelida; Clitellata; Crassiclitellata; Lumbricidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 812.74 megabases.

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of two sibling species of lumbricid earthworms, Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826) and Eisenia andrei (Bouché, 1972) (Annelida, Crassiclitellata): comparison of mitogenomes and phylogenetic positioning [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2022
Composting earthworms of the genus Eisenia play an important role in soil ecosystems. However, taxonomic classification of this genus, especially the sibling species Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei, is complicated because of their morphological ...

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual mottled worm, Allolobophora icterica (Annelida; Clitellata; Crassiclitellata; Lumbricidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,117.80 megabases.

Systematic revision of Gatesona (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae), an endemic earthworm genus from the Massif Central (France). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
The Massif Central in France could potentially harbor numerous ancient endemic lineages owing to its long history of continuous geological stability.

ESIDE: A computationally intelligent method to identify earthworm species (E. fetida) from digital images: Application in taxonomy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
Earthworms (Crassiclitellata) being ecosystem engineers significantly affect the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil by recycling organic material, increasing nutrient availability, and improving soil structure.

They come in all sizes: integrative systematics and morphological radiation of Scherotheca (Lumbricidae, Crassiclitellata). [PDF]

Cladistics
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.
