Promotion of leaf degradation by earthworms under laboratory conditions [PDF]
, 2006 Organic materials were applied to leaves from organic apple trees. Then, leaves were fed to earthworms in a laboratory culture. The objective was to select materials which promote leaf degradation by earthworms and consequently reduce the inoculum ...

Earthworm abundances in endophyte-infected tall fescue pastures in Northwest Arkansas [PDF]
, 2008 The ecology of organisms that co-evolve within an ecosystem is likely to be distinct from that involving organisms recently introduced into an area. To better understand the relationship of earthworms with endophyte-infected tall fescue, earthworms in ...
