Sorry atlanticus, you are not my type: molecular assessment splits Zophoscolex (Lumbricidae: Crassiclitellata) into French and Iberian genera

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2021
Molecular phylogenetics contributes to making important advances in the challenging field of earthworm taxonomy. Use of this type of analysis has enabled clarification of the phylogenetic relationships between early-branching genera of Lumbricidae ...

Ovaries of Lumbricidae earthworms (Annelida, Crassiclitellata), from morphology to ultrastructure

The European Zoological Journal
Earthworm (Megadrili) ovaries are paired organs located usually in the XIII segment. So far, only their localization and general morphology are well known. Light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy analyses were carried out to describe ovary histology

Fatty Acids in Lumbricidae as Biomarkers of In Situ Metals Exposure

Sustainability
Hard coal mining activity generates post-mining waste (waste rock). Waste rock is deposited in the environment in large quantities for reclamation of agricultural land. In this study, waste rock was treated as a potential source of metal pollutants.

The influence of nonnative earthworms (Annelida: Crassiclitellata: Lumbricidae) on oribatid mite communities in a boreal forest stand

Canadian Entomologist
Nonnative earthworm species are invading the boreal forest in North America. Oribatid mites are key detritivores in boreal forest soils, initiating litter decomposition and maintaining forest floor structure.

Molecular evidence reveals introduced populations of Eiseniella tetraedra (Savigny, 1826) (Annelida, Lumbricidae) with European origins from protected freshwater ecosystems of the southern Alborz Mountains

, 2021
The presence of exotic earthworms has recently become a major concern and drawn significant attention to their potential effects on ecosystems and native invertebrate fauna.

Distribution of epi-endogeic and endogeic earthworm species (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) in the forest belt of the Northwest Caucasus.

Zootaxa, 2021
The distribution of the often dominant in density and biomass epi-endogeic and endogeic earthworm species in forests of the Northwest Caucasus was estimated based on a large array of field data and GIS modeling of modern potential areas.

Contrasting phylogeographic patterns of earthworms (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae) on near-shore mediterranean islands

European journal of soil biology, 2020
Comparative phylogeography is a powerful methodological approach to understand the particular evolutionary phenomena that occur in islands. This method has been rarely applied to insular earthworm communities. These soil animals show a striking dichotomy
