Assessment of earthworms activity based on eaten biomass from selected catch crops
The trophic activity of soil mesofauna, especially earthworms (the Lumbricidae family), is a key element in increasing the fertility of agroecosystems. Thee food strategies that earthworms use as part of the trophic networks in soil, and especially their

Polyploid races, genetic structure and morphological features of earthworm Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826) (Oligohaeta: Lumbricidae) in Ukraine [PDF]
Four chromosomal races (2n=36, 3n=54, 6n=108, 8n=144) and 96 clones have been revealed among 224 specimens of the earthworm A. rosea over the territory of Ukraine by means of karyological analysis and biochemical genetic marking.

Tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), such as water‐filled tree holes (WTHs), are important structures for forest biodiversity, providing habitats for many specialized species, which are however impaired by the intensive forest management of the past. Strategies to maintain and promote TreMs in managed forests, e.g.
