Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

Comparative Analysis of Bacterial Community Structures in Earthworm Skin, Gut, and Habitat Soil across Typical Temperate Forests

Microorganisms
Earthworms are essential components in temperate forest ecosystems, yet the patterns of change in earthworm-associated microbial communities across different temperate forests remain unclear.

Soil biota in grassland, its ecosystem services and the impact of management [PDF]

, 2007
In the search for sustainable grassland systems, self-regulating processes in the soil become increasingly important. Soil biota play an important role in these processes and in the provision of various ecosystem services. For grassland systems important

3N Agriculture: Growing the greenest tomorrow

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract The global food system must confront the intertwined challenges of feeding a growing population, reversing environmental degradation, and improving nutrition. While past agricultural innovations improved yields, they often undermined sustainability and food quality. In response, we propose the 3N Agriculture framework—Net‐Zero, Nature‐Positive,

Effect of integrated inorganic and organic fertilizer on yield and yield components of maize at Bako Agricultural Research Center in Western Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the combined application of vermicompost and NPS fertilizer on maize (Zea mays L.) yield and yield components under low soil fertility conditions in western Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted at Bako Agricultural Research Center using a randomized complete block design with three replications.

The impact of multiple agricultural land uses in sustaining earthworm communities in agroecosystems - A global meta-analysis

Scientific Reports
The impact of agricultural land use on biodiversity has been extensively examined through efforts to synthesize available data. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of a thorough synthesis describing the earthworm response to agricultural land-use Our ...

Promotion of leaf degradation by earthworms under laboratory conditions [PDF]

, 2006
Organic materials were applied to leaves from organic apple trees. Then, leaves were fed to earthworms in a laboratory culture. The objective was to select materials which promote leaf degradation by earthworms and consequently reduce the inoculum ...
