Invasive earthworms erode soil biodiversity: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2018 Invasion ecology of below‐ground ecosystem engineers is still less known. Here, the authors quantitatively synthesize the impacts of a below‐ground ecosystem engineer (earthworms) on soil biodiversity. The results show that soil animal diversity and density substantially decrease in response to invasive earthworms.

Pengaruh kadar air tanah terhadap biomassa cacing tanah Pontoscolex corethrurus
Journal of Biological Researches, 1995 This research was done in order to study of effect the soil humidity on earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus biomass. 80 earthworm were placed in plastic pot (12.5 cm in diameter an 10 cm on deep) contained soil media (four individuals in each pot).

Charcoal consumption and casting activity by Pontoscolex corethrurus (Glossoscolecidae) [PDF]
Applied Soil Ecology, 2005 The endogeic earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus (Glossoscolecidae) is a peregrine species commonly found in tropical lands cleared by man for cultivation. We compared the charcoal consumption and casting activity of a population of P. corethrurus from a cultivated area under repeated slash-and-burn (fallow population) with that of a population from a ...

Potential role of endogeic earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus in remediating banana blood disease: a preliminary observation [PDF]
European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2016 Blood disease is a destructive bacterial infection that causes severe yield loss to the banana industry. Ideally, an environmental friendly yet practical approach is necessitated in the search for effective treatment against the disease.

Phylogeography of a riparian earthworm shows environmental factors influence genetic structure
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 156-168, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim The study of cosmopolitan earthworms could be even more interesting than that of endemic species in revealing evolutionary processes. Previous research on the cosmopolitan worm Eiseniella tetraedra has indicated some phylogeographic structure among populations, but the factors responsible remain unresolved.
