Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Increased production and environmental release of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) increase soil exposure and potential risk to earthworms. However, MWCNT toxicity to earthworms remains unclear, with some studies identifying negative effects and ...

Impacts of earthworms and their excreta on peat soil properties and bacterial community
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Peatlands store 20–30 % of the global soil carbon (C). Earthworms simultaneously increase net C stabilization and net C mineralization. But little is known about the impact of earthworm invasion on the C cycling in peat soils.

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’,

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A self‐assembled multilayer biobased PEF/GO nanofibrous membrane was developed by electrospinning for efficient PLA microplastics (MPs) filtration. The membrane combines superhydrophilicity, directional water transport, mechanical robustness, and a synergistic size‐exclusion interception and electrostatic repulsion MPs separation mechanism, enabling ...
