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

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

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.
