The spatiotemporal pattern of earthworm community in the grass savannas of Lamto (Ivory Coast). [PDF]

Biodivers Data J, 2015
The impact of earthworms on both soil physical properties and soil organic matter dynamics has been well documented (Lavelle and Spain 2001). There is a wealth of literature dedicated to the biological mechanisms at work or to empirical approaches based ...

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

International 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 ...

Earthworm management in tropical agroecosystems [PDF]

, 1999
The effects of earthworms on soil structure and the resulting physical properties in natural or cultivated systems were studied in different sites of the Macrofauna project. Four main results were obtained from these experiments : (1) In kaolinitic soils

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

Zoologica 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 ...

Partial replacement of fish meal by earthworm meal (Libyodrilus violaceus) in diets for African catfish, Clarias gariepinus [PDF]

, 2013
A seven-week feeding trial was conducted to examine the possibility of replacing fish meal with earthworm meal in the diets of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus fry. Fish meal protein was replaced by earthworm meal at 0% (D0); 15% (D15); 25% (D25)
