Anecic earthworms and associated ecosystem services in a ley-arable crop

open access: yes, 2010
Een vruchtwisseling van gras en maïs zou duurzaam kunnen zijn in termen van nutriëntengebruik, maar het effect op regenwormen is nog onvoldoende bekend.

Quantifying Species‐ and Community‐Level Predation by Carabids on Pests and Beneficials in Wheat and Beet Fields

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using a model that translates qualitative prey detection data (presence/absence in predator gut contents) into quantitative predation rates, we estimate species‐specific diets of nine carabid species across three cropping contexts (wheat, sugar beet, and fodder beet) for five prey types.

Alive and dead earthworms capture carbon during mineral weathering through different pathways

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Enhanced rock weathering aims at capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide as inorganic carbon, while potentially stabilizing soil organic carbon. However, the role of soil biota in this process remains underexplored. Earthworms, being key soil engineers, may

Remediation of Pulp and Paper Mill Biosolids using Vermiculture

open access: yes, 2009
Historical wastewater treatment systems at a New Zealand pulp and paper mill, resulted in a biosolid mass in the K-basin at Kinleith mill. Products extracted during the pulping process include resin acids, which are further transformed in the K-basin by ...

Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Free‐living Black‐tailed Godwits maintain constant intake rates across varying grassland habitat conditions by adjusting their foraging behaviour

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.

Microflora dynamics in earthworms casts in an artificial soil (biosynthesol) containing lactic acid oligomers

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2001
Studies were performed to appreciate the presence of micro-organisms able to degrade OLA, in earthworms casts or in the surroundings. Worms were grown in biosynthesol, an artificial soil.

Tools for monitoring and study of peregrine pheretimoid earthworms (Megascolecidae)

open access: yes, 2020
Peregrine pheretimoid earthworms, commonly known as jumping worms, are members of the family Megascolecidae that have become widely established outside of their native ranges.

Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for
