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

Impact of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris (L.) on As, Cu, Pb and Zn mobility and speciation in contaminated soils [PDF]
To assess the risks that contaminated soils pose to the environment properly a greater understanding of how soil biota influence the mobility of metal(loid)s in soils is required. Lumbricus terrestris L. were incubated in three soils contaminated with As,

Microbial environment affects innate immunity in two closely related earthworm species Eisenia andrei and Eisenia fetida. [PDF]
Survival of earthworms in the environment depends on their ability to recognize and eliminate potential pathogens. This work is aimed to compare the innate defense mechanisms of two closely related earthworm species, Eisenia andrei and Eisenia fetida ...

A new approach to evaluate the functional role of earthworms as bioremediators of certain pesticides in soil [PDF]
Vermiremediation is a promising technology for restoring soil functioning. Unfortunately, assays used to assess the efficacy of this process fail to evaluate the biological quality of soils.
