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 ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

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

Forest patches as stepping stones: evidence from invertebrate taxonomic and functional diversity in experimentally created water‐filled tree holes

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

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.

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.

Cutaneous excreta of the earthworm Eisenia fetida (Haplotaxida: Lumbricidae) might hinder the biological control performance of entomopathogenic nematodes

open access: yes, 2020
Earthworms enhance soil structure, the decomposition of organic matter and the dissemination of beneficial soil organisms such as the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). Nevertheless, the effects of earthworm feeding behavior or cutaneous excreta (CEx) on

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.
