Asymmetrical hybridization and gene flow between Eisenia andrei and E. fetida lumbricid earthworms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Uniformly pigmented Eisenia andrei (Ea) and striped E. fetida (Ef) lumbricid earthworms are hermaphrodites capable of self-fertilization, cross-fertilization, and asymmetrical hybridization.

The Effects of Earthworms on Fungal Diversity and Community Structure in Farmland Soil With Returned Straw

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
BackgroundTo promote the decomposition of returned straw, reduce the incidence of soil-borne diseases caused by returned straw, and accelerate the conversion of straw carbon into soil carbon, we inoculated earthworms into fields with returned straw.

Impacts of earthworms and their excreta on peat soil properties and bacterial community

open access: yesGlobal 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.

Is tagging with visual implant elastomer a reliable technique for marking earthworms? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Visual implant elastomer (VIE) has recently been employed to investigate different aspects of earthworm ecology. However, a number of fundamental questions relating to the detection and positioning of the tag, its persistence and potential effects on ...

Ecotoxicological effects of a synthetic and a natural insecticide on earthworms and soil bacterial community

open access: yesEnvironmental Advances, 2022
Earthworms and microbial communities are essential non-target soil organisms that are useful to assess the collateral impact of pesticides. The present paper reports three laboratory experiments performed to investigate the effects of sub-lethal doses of

Recent Trends in Metabolomics by NMR Spectroscopy

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
AI tools were applied to analyze more than 5 000 publications indexed in Scopus (2018–2025), identifying key trends and research directions in NMR‐based metabolomics. The artificial intelligence‐assisted workflow classified papers into six main fields of application, human health, food and nutrition, veterinary science, plants, environment, and ...

Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in soil on earthworm growth and reproduction, enzymatic activities, and metabolomics

open access: yesEcotoxicology 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 ...

The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of Japanese earthworms Metaphire hilgendorfi and Amynthas yunoshimensis (Clitellata: Megascolecidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Many studies have reported the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of Chinese Megascolecidae earthworms, however, there have been no reports on sequences originating from Japanese Megascolecidae earthworms.

Long-term effects of cropping systems on the earthworm population in a loam soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Six cropping systems, ranging from conventional arable without livestock to organic livestock farming dominated by ley, have been compared in 1990 and 2004 in SE Norway. Ley in the crop rotation increased density and biomass of earthworms and channels in

Bioassays with terrestrial and aquatic species as monitoring tools of hydrocarbon degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this study chemical analyses and ecotoxicity tests were applied for the assessment of a heavily hydrocarbon-contaminated soil prior and after the application of a remediation procedure that consisted in the stimulation of soil autochthonous ...
