Complex taxonomy and global phylogeography of the well-known tropical earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus [PDF]

, 2018
Few earthworm species are peregrine and among them, Pontoscolex corethrurus is the most well-known. Probably native from the Guyana shield, this earthworm is nowadays distributed worldwide, in the tropical and sub-tropical zones.

Solar parks provide heterogeneous habitats for winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 59-73, February 2026.
Forest provides stable temperature and high humidity, harbouring mainly forest‐associated winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods. Grassland and abandoned farmland experience extreme temperatures, favouring mainly dry‐habitat winter‐active ground‐dwelling predatory arthropods.

Impact of overwintering cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) on springtail(Hexapoda: Collembola) communities of the Azov and Black Sea coastal forests

Turkish Journal of Zoology, 2020
Nesting water bird colonies may act as important drivers of aquatic-terrestrial nutrient turnover in coastal ecosystems. By depositing a large amount of guano, they induce changes in the structure of soils, flora, and fauna.

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.
