open access: yesOpuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2009
A small earthworm material from Guadeloupe Islands (French West-Indies) was studied. Altogether 14 earth¬worm species were collected, 12 of which are common tropical peregrine. On the other hand, two seem to be endemic in the islands. One of these native

Seasonal Decomposition Rates of Broadleaf and Conifer Wood Litter in Far Eastern Tropical Forest Communities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Studies on wood litter decomposition sometimes show conflicting results. While low temperatures and humidity during winter in temperate climates are reported to halt the activity of decomposing agents, in the warmest and wettest tropical regions of the Far East, peat accumulates on the forest floor, indicating that the decomposition process is not ...

Phylogenomic analyses reveal a Palaeozoic radiation and support a freshwater origin for clitellate annelids

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 614-640, September 2020., 2020
Abstract Clitellata is a major clade of Annelida comprising nearly all freshwater and terrestrial annelids as well as several marine species. We investigated clitellate phylogenetic relationships using transcriptomes sampled from 74 taxa (64 clitellates and 10 polychaetes), including multiple representatives of nearly all major clitellate higher taxa ...

Functional attributes: Compacting vs decompacting earthworms and influence on soil structure

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2012
A short term field mesocosm experiment was performed in semi-deciduous forest areas of Ivory Coast to assess the impact of a decompacting (Hyperiodrilus africanus, Eudrilidae) and two compacting (Millsonia omodeoi and Dichogaster terraenigrae ...

Évaluation de la toxicité d’un herbicide à base de 2,4-D sur le ver de terre Eudrilus eugeniae Kinberg, 1867 (Oligochaeta, Eudrilidae)

open access: yesRevue Marocaine des Sciences Agronomiques et Vétérinaires, 2017
2,4-D is commonly used in the world to control undesirable plant species in monocotyledonous fields. The massive use of this herbicide requires knowledge of its ecotoxicological spectrum for better regulation of its use.
