Free‐living Black‐tailed Godwits maintain constant intake rates across varying grassland habitat conditions by adjusting their foraging behaviour

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 876-889, July 2026.
Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.

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

Вавиловский 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

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

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

Вавиловский 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.

Assessment of Preservation and Extraction Methods for Environmental DNA in Sediments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
We assessed how different preservation methods (freezing, room temperature, silica gel, Longmire buffer) affect eDNA metabarcoding results for bacterial, fungal, microeukaryotic, and metazoan communities in marine and freshwater sediments. Results demonstrate taxonomic‐ and habitat‐specific responses to preservation methods, providing evidence‐based ...

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

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