Putting earthworm conservation on the map: Shortfalls and solutions for developing earthworm conservation [PDF]

open access: yes
Earthworms are keystone organisms that influence both soil function and community assembly of other soil organisms. However, soils are increasingly threatened by global change, so there is an urgent need to consider earthworms in conservation strategies.

Tracking Invasive Pheretimoid Earthworm Species in New Brunswick, Canada: Impacts on Soil Properties and Other Invasive Earthworms

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
Jumping worms, a group of invasive earthworms, are spreading northward in North America, yet their impacts remain poorly understood, especially at their northern range limit. Following the initial detection of jumping worms in New Brunswick, we sampled 46 sites across the province to assess their regional spread and examine possible vectors of ...

Resurvey of Boreal Earthworm Communities in Southern and Northern Finland

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
Boreal forests account for 11.5% of the Earth's land area, and, unlike oceanic and mediterranean forests, their cold winters typically represent the harshest season for earthworms. In Fennoscandia, these forests are subject to substantial global changes, notably climate change and land use intensification, which might impact earthworm populations.

Drivers of earthworm incidence and abundance across European forests

open access: yes, 2016
Earthworms have a significant influence on the structure, composition and functioning of forest ecosystems, but in spite of their role as ecosystem engineers, little is known on the factors controlling their distribution across European forests ...

Decomponology: A board game for understanding soil carbon dynamics

open access: yesNatural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Soils sustain life and regulate global carbon cycling, yet the processes governing soil organic matter dynamics are inherently complex, involving multiple pathways and positive and negative feedbacks. Traditional concepts such as humus often portrayed soil carbon as a static pool whose persistence was attributed largely to the inherent ...

Real‐Time Targeted Slice Reacquisition for Motion‐Corrupted Fetal Diffusion MRI

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2140-2151, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and evaluate a real‐time framework for targeted slice‐level reacquisition in fetal diffusion MRI. Methods A DW‐SE‐EPI sequence was modified to support independent diffusion preparation per slice. A pathology‐robust nnU‐Net segmentation network, updated from a previously published baseline (V1) using pathological fetal cases ...

Mole: an open near real-time database-centric Earthworm subsystem

open access: yes, 2012
Mole is an open-source and cross-platform Earthworm subsystem made up of a MySQL database schema, an Earthworm module, and a web interface. Although it sprang from INGV requirements, Mole is as general-purpose as possible in order to provide a high-level

Contrasting influences of ectomycorrhizal fungi on decomposition depending on soil fertility

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1028-1034, November 2026.
Ecosystem types along a gradient of increasing nutritional and climatic constraints with an overall transition from carbon (C)to nitrogen (N) limitation on decomposition. Summary Despite their dominance in many terrestrial ecosystems, the impact of ectomycorrhizal fungi on organic matter decomposition is notably variable across different ecological ...

T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2541-2559, October 2026.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...
