The Nephridia of Earthworms. [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1888
THE last number of the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science has just come into my hands, containing a paper, by Mr. Beddard, on the nephridia of certain earthworms. In November of last year I read a paper, before the Royal Society of Victoria, on the anatomy of the large Gippsland earthworm, Megascolides australis.

Metagenomic Sequencing Reveals that the Assembly of Functional Genes and Taxa Varied Highly and Lacked Redundancy in the Earthworm Gut Compared with Soil under Vanadium Stress

open access: yesmSystems, 2022
Exploring the ecological mechanism of microbial community assembly in soil and the earthworm gut in a vanadium polluted environment could help us understand the effects of vanadium stress on microbial diversity maintenance and function, as well as the ...

“Notes on Earthworms” [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1884
REFERRING to Mr. Hughes' communication to NATURE of May 15, p. 57, I myself to-day saw a small worm pursued by a black insect, also evidently the larva of one of the Carabidae. I was attracted by observing the worm emerge from the ground and hurry quickly away.

Village forests in western Côte d′Ivoire have low plant diversity but are important for their conservation value and aboveground biomass

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Village forests play a critical role in biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation, yet their ecological value remains underdocumented. This study assessed eight village forests in western Côte d’Ivoire, comparing them with three protected forests:

Phosphatase activity in the drilosphere and its link to phosphorus uptake by grass

open access: yesGeoderma, 2023
Earthworms can increase the solubility of phosphorus (P) in soil, an effect which to a large extent is controlled by mineralisation of organic P. Phosphatases, a class of hydrolytic enzymes, catalyse this mineralisation process.
