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.

Ecological and physiological effects of soil management practices on earthworm communities in French vineyards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In recent literature, very few studies have reported the use of the combination of indicators from ecological communities and ecotoxicity biomarkers in field experiments to assess agricultural quality.

Effects of earthworms and mycorrhizal fungi on the growth of the medicinal herb Calendula officinalis (Asteraceae)

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2011
Both earthworms and symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) often co-occurr in ecosystems, however very little is known on their interrelationships.

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.

“Notes on Earthworms” [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1884
REFERRING to Mr. Hughes' communication to NATURE of May 15, p. 57, I myself to-day saw a small worm pursued by a black insect, also evidently the larva of one of the Carabidae. I was attracted by observing the worm emerge from the ground and hurry quickly away.

Earthworm genomes, genes and proteins : the (re)discovery of Darwin’s worms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
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’,

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 ...

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

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.
