Relative Effects of Eutrophication and Warming on Freshwater Ecosystems Across Ecological Levels. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
This experimental study explores the effects of global change on different ecological levels. We demonstrate that warming primarily impacts lower ecological levels, such as community composition, whereas eutrophication predominantly affects the most integrative ecological level, that is, ecosystem.

Earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) of Interior Alaska [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2018
Earthworms in the family Lumbricidae in Alaska, which are known from coastal regions, primarily in south-central and south-eastern Alaska, are thought to be entirely non-native and have been shown to negatively impact previously earthworm-free ecosystems

The genome sequence of the mottled worm, Allolobophora icterica (formerly Aporrectodea icterica) (Savigny, 1826) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual mottled worm, Allolobophora icterica (Annelida; Clitellata; Crassiclitellata; Lumbricidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,117.80 megabases.

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

open access: yesWellcome 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

No Mate, No Problem: Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Parthenogenesis in the Cosmopolitan Earthworm Aporrectodea trapezoides (Annelida, Clitellata). [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol
ABSTRACT Approximately, 40% of earthworm species can reproduce by parthenogenesis. This is the case for the cosmopolitan species, Aporrectodea trapezoides, although sexual forms have been described sporadically. We analyse the genotypes and microbiomes of 30 individuals from four localities where both forms appear in order to understand the ...

The influence of forest types including native and non-native tree species on soil macrofauna depends on site conditions. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Abstract The ongoing climate change calls for managing forest ecosystems in temperate regions toward more drought‐resistant and climate‐resilient stands. Yet ecological consequences of management options such as planting non‐native tree species and mixing coniferous and deciduous tree species have been little studied, especially on soil animal ...
