Integrative Taxonomy Reveals a New Species of the <i>Eisenia andrei/fetida</i> Complex (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) From the Guizhou Plateau, China. [PDF]
We used mitochondrial COI genes and nuclear gene 28S rRNA genes to investigate the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of an unknown earthworm genus collected in Wangjiazhai Town, Zhongshan District, Liupanshui City. The results of molecular analyses supported it belongs to an Eisenia andrei/fetida complex.

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