Biomechanical analysis of Oligochaeta crawling [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2004 Hydrostatic skeletons, such as that of Oligochaeta and Hirudinea, allow the locomotion of animals with soft segmented bodies. In this paper crawling of Oligochaeta, and in particular that of earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris), is analyzed from a biomechanical point of view, starting from the experimental kinematic description of deformations coupled with

Modelling of climatic tolerances of three earthworm species; Satchellius mammalis, Lumbricus friendi and Lumbricus festivus using Maximum Entropy Modeling [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2022 Earthworm distributions are poorly known and individual species climatic tolerances, even less so. This paper sets out to use three species with a mainly Anglo-French distribution to test out whether using Maximum Entropy Modelling (Maxent) could be ...

Impact of secondary salinisation on the structure and diversity of oligochaete communities
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020 Secondary salinisation has become one of the most important factors responsible for changes in the aquatic biota. Earlier research has focused on macroinvertebrates including oligochaetes in anthropogenically saline rivers and streams, but studies on ...
