DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-05055-8
Abstract: Soil-exchangeable aluminum (Al) has toxic effects on living organisms in acidic soils. Earthworm presence and activity can alter soil pH, which has a significant influence on Al toxicity. However, the effects of earthworms on soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2018.02.024
Abstract: Abstract Earthworms can reduce soil-borne diseases via diverse mechanisms. The differential effects of different earthworm species on soil-borne diseases, and the mechanisms that account for the differences, however, have been largely ignored. To assess the… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4877.1.7
Abstract: Despite the biological and economic importance of earthworms, the taxonomic status and evolutionary relationships of most lumbricid genera are still under debate. Further complications arise from the recognition that earthworms also show a high cryptic… read more here.

High-resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis as a potential tool for the identification of earthworm species and haplotypes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.13661
Abstract: Background Earthworm communities are an important component of soil biodiversity and contribute to a number of ecosystem functions such as soil-nutrient cycling. Taxonomic identification is an essential requirement to assess earthworm biodiversity and functionality. Although… read more here.
