New data on the polyphyletic Marionina genus (Annelida, Enchytraeidae): description of three new species from European shore habitats

Zoosystematics and Evolution
Marionina (Michaelsen in Pfeffer, 1890) is a worldwide distributed genus of small enchytraeids living in mainly aquatic habitats. The genus is polyphyletic, including about 100 species with diverse morphological characters and cryptic lineages; therefore,

Stream Invertebrate Responses to Fine Sediment Depend on the Organic and Inorganic Components

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Excess fine sediment ( < 2 mm) is a pervasive stressor of aquatic systems at a global scale. To date, most research quantifying ecological response to deposited fine sediment has been conducted without distinguishing between the organic and inorganic components of fine sediment, leaving mechanistic understanding of how fine sediment affects ...

Numbers and biomass of soil invertebrates in a reserved field in central Finland

Agricultural and Food Science, 1979
The numbers and biomasses of soil invertebrates were investigated in a reserved field in central Finland. Samples were taken monthly from June to September. Five methods were employed to extract the animals from the soil samples. The animals were counted,

Benefits from ecological study methods to taxonomy of enchytraeids in southern Mata Atlântica Benefícios de métodos de estudos ecológicos para a taxonomia de enquitreídeos no sul da Mata Atlântica

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2009
The objective of this work was to determine how taxonomy benefited from the ecological quantitative and site-based sampling methods in enchytraeids studies.

Genomic evidence for the widespread presence of GH45 cellulases among soil invertebrates

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 20, October 2024.
Abstract Lignocellulose is a major component of vascular plant biomass. Its decomposition is crucial for the terrestrial carbon cycle. Microorganisms are considered primary decomposers, but evidence increases that some invertebrates may also decompose lignocellulose. We investigated the taxonomic distribution and evolutionary origins of GH45 hydrolases,

A bibliography of works for the identification of freshwater invertebrates in the British Isles [PDF]

, 1979
This bibliography covers the literature up to the end of 1978. The criteria used in the selection of references were that they should aid identification of invertebrates directly; thus, works solely concerned with the taxonomy of a particular group are ...

Polychaetes and oligochaetes associated with intertidal rocky shores in a semi-enclosed industrial and urban embayment, with the description of two new species [PDF]

, 2009
The species composition and relative abundance of the annelid benthic macrofauna (Polychaeta and Oligochaeta) inhabiting the rocky intertidal zone of the ria of Ferrol (Galicia, NW Spain) were studied during field collections, from 2000 to 2002.

The popular model annelid Enchytraeus albidus is only one species in a complex of seashore white worms (Clitellata, Enchytraeidae)

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2019
The white worm Enchytraeus albidus Henle, 1837 (Clitellata, Enchytraeidae) is easy to keep in laboratory cultures, and has therefore been employed as a model organism in basic and applied biological research.

Tree diversity and mycorrhizal type co‐determine multitrophic ecosystem functions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 528-546, March 2024.
Tree species richness affected multitrophic ecosystem functioning by (1) increasing predation only in the mixture of EcM‐species (EcM), (2) decreasing herbivory damage only in the communities with both mycorrhizal types (AM + EcM) and (3) decreasing decomposition indicated by the soil fauna feeding activity.

Does carcass decomposition affect soil-dwelling enchytraeids?

Soil Organisms, 2023
Carcass decomposition causes substantial changes in the humidity and chemistry of adjacent soil. Its potential effect on Enchytraeidae (Annelida: Clitellata) has, hitherto, not been studied.
