Earthworm genomes, genes and proteins : the (re)discovery of Darwin’s worms [PDF]
, 2009 Small incremental biological change, winnowed by natural selection over geological time scales to produce large consequences, was Darwin's singular insight that revolutionized the life sciences. His publications after 1859, including the ‘earthworm book’,

A Worm-Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

The impact of anecic earthworms on the dispersal of Microdochium nivale in amenity sports turf [PDF]
, 2012 In sports surface management, integrated disease management (IDM) is useful in identifying the parameters for which disease can occur. The host, pathogen and environment are factors that are intrinsically linked for disease to manifest.
