DNA barcoding: how many earthworm species are there in the south of West Siberia?

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2016
Earthworms are a widespread and ecologically important group of animals, which has the highest total biomass in some ecosystems and often defines the composition of soil fauna. Earthworms are known to have high cryptic genetic diversity. In this study we

The Use of Ecoacoustics to Monitor Soil Ecology: A Critical Review With Reference to Earthworms

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
ABSTRACT The use of ecoacoustics to monitor soil ecology was identified as a priority in the 2024 horizon scan of global biological conservation issues. Proponents suggest it will have societal impacts by improving soil health assessments, enhance soil biodiversity monitoring and facilitate the conservation, remediation and management of soil ...

Genetic diversity of the earthworm Eisenia nordenskioldi (Lumbricidae, Annelida)

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
Eisenia nordenskioldi (Eisen, 1879) is the most widespread earthworm species in Siberia. It inhabits a wide range of habitats, from tundra to forest steppe, and is characterized by high morphological, ecological, and karyotypic diversity.

Collection and rearing of earthworms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Earthworm experimentation requires a source of supply. This may come from field-collection, purchase from a supplier, or from breeding of stock. The mode of obtaining the animals may be determined by the type of experimentation, but must not compromise ...

Impact of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris (L.) on As, Cu, Pb and Zn mobility and speciation in contaminated soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
To assess the risks that contaminated soils pose to the environment properly a greater understanding of how soil biota influence the mobility of metal(loid)s in soils is required. Lumbricus terrestris L. were incubated in three soils contaminated with As,

Glutathione S-transferases in earthworms (Lumbricidae) [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1979
Glutathione S-transferase activity (EC 2.5.1.18) was demonstrated in six species of earthworms of the family Lumbricidae: Eisenia foetida, Lumbricus terrestris, Lumbricus rebellus, Allolobophora longa, Allolobophora caliginosa and Allolobophora chlorotica.

A new approach to investigate arthropod biodiversity in forest ecosystems, using meta‐barcoding on trap combinations

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
For biodiversity monitoring of arthropods with a limited additional fieldwork, our trap combination reduced the taxonomic bias in the local samples compared to other studies relying only on Malaise traps. This represented the orders of the local fauna better.

An oasis of fertility on a barren island: Earthworms at Papadil, Isle of Rum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Isle of Rum, Inner Hebrides, has an impoverished earthworm fauna as the soils are generally acidic and nutrient-poor. Species associated with human habitation are found around deserted crofting settlements subjected to “clearances” in the mid-19th ...

The earthworm – Verminephrobacter symbiosis: an emerging experimental system to study extracellular symbiosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Almost all Lumbricid earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) harbor extracellular species-specific bacterial symbionts of the genus Verminephrobacter (Betaproteobacteria) in their nephridia.
