The structure of earthworm communities in urbanised biotopes of the Central Polissia

Geo&Bio, 2023
The article describes the results of the impact of urbanisation on the quantitative and qualitative structure of earthworm communities, since urbanisation is currently one of the main threats to biodiversity.

Spatial Distribution of the Anecic Species of Earthworms Dendrobaena nassonovi nassonovi (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) in the Forest Belt of the Northwestern Caucasus

Forests, 2023
The mountain forests of the Northwestern Caucasus represent unique refugia for the native biodiversity of flora and fauna. Endemic species are also preserved among soil invertebrates, including the group of earthworms, which are important ecosystem ...

Predominantly Terrestrial Foraging and Reproductive Gains From a High Trophic Level Diet in Roof-Nesting Herring Gulls (<i>Larus argentatus</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We used stable isotope analysis to investigate the association between foraging choices and reproductive success in roof‐nesting herring gulls. Surprisingly, δ13C values indicated predominantly terrestrial foraging, while fledging success increased with elevated δ15N, indicating that mothers feeding at higher trophic levels produced higher quality eggs

Characterization of 15 Earthworm Mitogenomes from Northeast China and Its Phylogenetic Implication (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae, Moniligastridae)

Diversity, 2022
Earthworms are an important ecological group, especially in agricultural regions in Northeast China. However, fewer studies focus on this group of organisms compared with other faunal groups.

Features of the Genetic Structure of the Earthworms Aporrectodea (Superspecies) Caliginosa (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) Complex in Ukraine [PDF]

, 2008
An investigation of the genetic structure of the Aporrectodea caliginosa – A. trapezoids diploidpolyploid complex of earthworms found in the Ukraine is performed by means of biochemical genetic marking with respect to six loci (Aat, Es-1, -2, -3, and -4,

Introduced earthworms (Lumbricidae) in restored and remnant tallgrass prairies of southern Ontario

Canadian field-naturalist, 2022
Introduced earthworms alter the trajectory and composition of plant communities, for example, through their feeding, burrowing behaviour, and interactions with seeds.

The disjunct distribution of relict earthworm genera clarifies the early historical biogeography of the Lumbricidae (Crassiclitellata, Annelida)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2021
The historical biogeography of the Lumbricidae, the main Palearctic earthworm family, may be linked to the paleogeography of their putative ancestral range in Iberia-Southeastern France-Corsica-Sardinia. Although molecular phylogenetics has recently been
