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

Integrative Taxonomy Reveals a New Species of the <i>Eisenia andrei/fetida</i> Complex (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) From the Guizhou Plateau, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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]

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.

Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Formulations with Greater Impact on Earthworms and Water Infiltration than Pure Glyphosate

Soil Systems, 2023
Glyphosate is the most widely used active ingredient (AI) in thousands of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) worldwide. Short-term impacts of AIs or GBHs on earthworms are well known, but few studies have examined long-term legacy effects >3 months after
