They come in all sizes: integrative systematics and morphological radiation of Scherotheca (Lumbricidae, Crassiclitellata)

Cladistics, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 581-599, December 2025.
Abstract Scherotheca is amongst the most diverse earthworm genera within Lumbricidae, exhibiting striking ecomorphological radiation—from small epigeic‐like forms to giant anecic species. Accurate systematics is critical for exploring such diversification.

Acute toxicity of birch tar oil on aquatic organisms

Agricultural and Food Science, 2008
Birch tar oil (BTO) is a by-product of processing birch wood in a pyrolysis system. Accumulating evidence suggests the suitability of BTO as a biocide or repellent in terrestrial environments for the control of weeds, insects, molluscs and rodents.

Impacts of Land Use and Water Quality on Macroinvertebrate Diversity Under Human Disturbance in the Lake Chaohu Basin, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our study revealed that human activities drive changes in macroinvertebrate diversity through the combined effects of land use and water quality. The results showed that sensitive taxa (Semisulcospira cancelata) dominated in low disturbance areas, Bellamya (Bellamya aeruginosa) and Alocinma (Alocinma longicornis) were predominant in moderate ...
