Comparison of Morphological and DNA-Based Identification Methods to Assess Earthworm (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) Diversity at 25 Permanent Soil Monitoring Sites in Germany. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The present contribution should contribute to solving the problem of the time‐consuming and expensive identification of soil invertebrates in the standardised survey of soil organisms. Earthworms and soil were sampled at 25 sites; the animals were identified morphologically and by community DNA (comDNA) and environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, and ...

Annual monitoring population of earthworms (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) in man-affected ecosystems around artificial Gruža reservoir [PDF]

Kragujevac Journal of Science
The rresent study investigates the earthworm sommunities in man-affected esosystems around artificial Gruža reservoir. The study took plase during 2023 and 2024, during the three seasons: summer, autumn and spring.

The genome sequence of the Cockspur worm, Bimastos rubidus (Savigny, 1826) (Crassiclitellata: Lumbricidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Bimastos rubidus (Cockspur worm; Annelida; Clitellata; Crassiclitellata; Lumbricidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 812.74 megabases.

The genome sequence of the Brown Litter Worm, Bimastos eiseni (Levinsen, 1884) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Bimastos eiseni (the Brown Litter Worm; Annelida; None; Haplotaxida; Lumbricidae). The genome sequence is 660.5 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The

Different patterns, but no temporal decline in temperate forest soil meso- and macrofauna over the last decade. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Global biodiversity loss is threatening ecosystem functioning and human well‐being. Arthropods above the ground have substantially decreased in abundance and diversity during the last 15–20 years. However, changes in belowground biodiversity, particularly in forests, received little attention.

They come in all sizes: integrative systematics and morphological radiation of Scherotheca (Lumbricidae, Crassiclitellata). [PDF]

Cladistics
Abstract Scherotheca is amongst the most diverse earthworm genera within Lumbricidae, exhibiting striking ecomorphological radiation—from small epigeic‐like forms to giant anecic species. Accurate systematics is critical for exploring such diversification.

Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
We developed a novel framework combining stable isotope analysis of essential amino acids and energy fluxes to quantify basal resource contributions and trophic positions of meso‐ and macrofauna detritivores (Collembola, Oribatida, Diplopoda, Isopoda, Lumbricidae) and predators (Mesostigmata, Chilopoda) in 48 forest sites of different management ...

Assessments of the impact of metals on juvenile earthworms (Eisenia fetida) in laboratory conditions [PDF]

Kragujevac Journal of Science, 2022
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different concentrations of copper and zinc on the mortality and bodyweight of juvenile earthworms in artificial soil.
