Life history of Monocystis parasites and genetic diversity of their hosts, the invasive Amynthas earthworms [PDF]

, 2016
Monocystis is a parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa that infects nearly 100% of earthworms; however, the parasites have low survivorship, low production of transmissible gametocysts, and seemingly lack schizogony.

Earthworm populations in conventional/organic arable-based systems and their contribution to soil fertility OF0117T [PDF]

, 1995
The project aimed to characterise earthworm population dynamics and behaviour under rotational cropping, comparing organic and conventional systems. Benefits arising from earthworm activity in terms of soil fertility were also assessed.
