The first earthworm records from Batanta Island, West Papua, Indonesia (Megadrili: Acanthodrilidae, Megascolecidae) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2019 Identification of a small but valuable earthworm material collected on Batanta and the neighbouring small Birie Island in 2014 and 2019 resulted in recording five species. The only acanthodrilid species in the sample, Dichogaster annae (Horst, 1893), is

Earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) of Interior Alaska [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2018 Earthworms in the family Lumbricidae in Alaska, which are known from coastal regions, primarily in south-central and south-eastern Alaska, are thought to be entirely non-native and have been shown to negatively impact previously earthworm-free ecosystems in study regions outside of Alaska.

Biometric relationships in earthworms (Oligochaeta) [PDF]
European Journal of Soil Biology, 2000 15 páginas, 1 tabla, 2 figuras Digging and hand-sorting of soil blocks is a very widespread method in the study of earthworm communities. One disadvantage of this method is that it is very time consuming and often many earthworms are incomplete because they were cut by the digging tools.

Three new additions to the earthworm (Clitellata: Megadrili) fauna of Kerala state from the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot, south-western India [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensisn India, studies on above-ground biodiversity have received more attention than those on below-ground biodiversity. With this view, systematic surveys for earthworms were carried out in the Western Ghats mountain range of Kerala state in southwestern ...

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

New earthworm records from several Indian Ocean islands (Clitellata, Megadrili) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2019 Elaboration of the earthworm material collected on the Seychelles, Mauritius, Réunion, Mayotte and Sri Lanka islands resulted in recording 20 species altogether. Among them, the ocnerodrilid Maheina braueri (Michaelsen, 1897) endemic to Mahé (Seychelles)

Relative impacts of morphological alteration to shorelines and eutrophication on littoral macroinvertebrates in Mediterranean lakes [PDF]
, 2015 Development of effective methods for assessing the ecological status of lakes based on littoral benthic fauna has been hampered by the lack of quantitative data on the relative impacts of key pressures on the benthic community.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region
