Earthworm, suborder Crassiclitellata, cohort Terrimegadrili (Jamieson, 1988)

EDIS, 2012
Like insects, earthworms are among the animals most frequently encountered by many Floridians. Our kids play with them, dissect them in middle school biology, we fish with them, they crawl across our sidewalks and live in our flowerpots.

Impacts of Climate, Organic Management, and Degradation Status on Soil Biodiversity in Agroecosystems Worldwide. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Unsustainable farming, soil degradation, and climate change threaten the biodiversity of life within soils, which is essential for healthy ecosystems. However, the effects of sustainable farming strategies, such as organic agriculture, on soil biodiversity are still poorly understood. In this work, we assessed soil biodiversity status in agroecosystems

Ovaries of Lumbricidae earthworms (Annelida, Crassiclitellata), from morphology to ultrastructure

The European Zoological Journal
Earthworm (Megadrili) ovaries are paired organs located usually in the XIII segment. So far, only their localization and general morphology are well known. Light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy analyses were carried out to describe ovary histology

Three new species and a new record of pheretimoid earthworms (Crassiclitellata, Megascolecidae) from Misamis Oriental, Philippines, with data from the mitochondrial genome [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution
We describe three new species of pheretimoid earthworms from Misamis Oriental, Mindanao Island, Philippines. One species is Polypheretima andresi sp. nov., belonging to the Polypheretima elongata group of Easton (1979), characterized by having a pair of ...
