PLoS ONE, 2019 Lumbricidae taxonomy is vastly restricted by the morphological simplicity of earthworms and their lack of complex appendices. This has led to confusing results in the Lumbricidae classifications, which in turn, has hindered our ability to identify and ...

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 ResearchWe 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

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2020 The area comprising the Pyrenees, Northeast Spain, Southern France and Corsica-Sardinia supports a large part of the diversity of Lumbricidae earthworms, including most species of the endemic genera Prosellodrilus, Cataladrilus and Scherotheca.

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