In this study, earthworm samples collected from 9 localities in Eskisehir Province were identified. At the end of the study, 9 species belonging to 6 genus were found: Aporrectodea jassyensis jassyensis (Michaelsen, 1891), Aporrectodea handlirschi handlirshi (Rosa, 1897), Aporrectodea handlirschi mahnerti (Zicsi, 1973), Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826), Dendrobaena veneta veneta (Rosa, 1884), Dendrodrilus rubidus rubidus (Savigny, 1826), Lumbricus rubellus Hoffmeister, 1843, Octodrilus complanatus (Duges, 1828), Octodrilus transpadanus (Rosa, 1884), Proctodrilus tuberculatus (Cernosvitov, 1935).

Environmental contamination by microplastics is now considered an emerging threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Soil ecosystems, particularly agricultural land, have been recognized as a major sink of microplastics, but the impacts of microplastics on soil ecosystems (e.g., above and below ground) remain largely unknown. In this study, different types of microplastics [biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA)], conventional high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and microplastic clothing fibers were added to soil containing the endogeic Aporrectodea rosea (rosy-tipped earthworm) and planted with Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) to assess the biophysical soil response in a mesocosm experiment. When exposed to fibers or PLA microplastics, fewer seeds germinated. There was also a reduction in shoot height with PLA. The biomass of A. rosea exposed to HDPE was significantly reduced compared to control samples. Furthermore, with HDPE present there was a decrease in soil pH. The size distribution of water-stable soil aggregates was altered when microplastics were present, suggesting potential alterations of soil stability. This study provides evidence that microplastics manufactured of HDPE and PLA, and synthetic fibers can affect the development of L. perenne, health of A. rosea and basic, but crucial soil properties, with potential further impacts on soil ecosystem functioning.

Southeast Iran is located in the arid area, near one of the hottest areas in the word. This area includes several climates, which led to different diverse in soil flora and fauna. In this study, earthworms of southeast Iran were collected. Eight species were identified from 67 samples based on morphological characters. Allolobophora chlorotica (Savigny, 1826) of Lumbricidae family and Amynthas gracilis (Kinberg, 1867) from Megascolecidae family are new records for Iran’s fauna. Five species from Lumbricidae family include Aporrectodea rosea, Aporrectodea trapezoides, Perelia kaznakovi, Eisenia andrei (maybe Eisenia fetida) and Perelia sp. and one species of Megascolecidae, Amynthas corticis, were also identified. Ap. trapezoides, Ap. rosea, and Am. corticis were common species in our study areas. E. andrei (maybe E. fetida) and Am. gracilis, were only found in Baft (Khabr) and Jiroft respectively.

In a small-scale field experiment, we estimated the contribution of aboveground litter to the energy budget of different collembolan and earthworm species. In a 50-year-old spruce plantation, the natural spruce litter was replaced by an equivalent amount of maize litter. The natural difference in the isotopic composition of carbon (C) between the spruce and maize allowed us to estimate the proportions of different carbon sources in the tissues of soil animals. The dependence on litter-derived C was least pronounced in Collembola having low δ15N values, indicating the feeding on non-vascular plants. In contrast, collembolans having high δ15N values belonged to the food chains based on fresh plant residuals. These results suggest that different species of litter-dwelling collembolans may regulate substantially different energy channels. Some species of endogeic earthworms (Aporrectodea rosea and A. caliginosa) utilize aboveground plant residues, though soil organic matter and other belowground sources of carbon prevail in the energy budget of their populations.

Earthworm species composition, the density of individuals, and their biomass were investigated in spring barley and faba bean fields in a long-term (52-year) experiment conducted at the Production and Experimental Station in Bałcyny, in north-eastern Poland (53°40′ N; 19°50′ E). Additionally, post-harvest residues biomass, soil organic matter (SOM), and soil pH were recorded. The above traits were investigated using two experimental factors: I. cropping system—continuous cropping (CC) vs. crop rotation (CR) and II. pesticide plant protection: herbicide + fungicide (HF+) vs. no plant protection (HF−). A total of three species of Lumbricidae were found: Aporrectodea caliginosa (Sav.) in both crops, Aporrectodea rosea (Sav.) in spring barley, and Lumbricus terrestris (L.) in faba bean. The density and biomass of earthworms were unaffected by experimental treatments in spring barley fields, whereas in faba bean CC increased and HF+ decreased earthworm density and biomass in comparison with CR and HF− respectively. Total post-harvest residues in faba bean fields were higher under CC in relation to CR and under HF+ compared with HF− treatment in both crops. Compared to CR, CC increased soil pH in spring barley fields and decreased in faba bean fields. Experimental factors did not affect SOM. Earthworm density and biomass were positively correlated with SOM content.

The article presents the data on prevalence and intensity of earthworms’ infection with metastrongylid larvae in pork production enterprises of Kyiv and Zhytomyr Regions of Ukraine. In the investigated areas, six species of lumbricids were collected and identified: Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826), Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826), A. caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), Dendrodrilus rubidus (Savigny, 1826), Lumbricus rubellus (Linnaeus, 1758), L. terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758). The studies were carried out from April to September, 2016, both in pig farms and on pastures. We observed no pronounced changes in prevalence and intensity of infection during the warm period of the year. The highest infection rates were detected in earthworms living under the wooden floor of pigpens and in its cracks. In the studied localities, metastrongylid larvae were found in the most common worms of the Lumbricidae family: E. foetida, D. rubidus, A. caliginosa, and L. rubellus., У статті представлені дані про поширеність та інтенсивність зараження дощових черв’яків личинками метастронгілід у свинокомплексах Київської та Житомирської областей України. У досліджуваних районах було зібрано та ідентифіковано шість видів люмбрицидів: Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826), Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826), A. caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), Dendrodrilus rubidus (Savigny, 1826), Lumbricus rubellus ( Linnaeus, 1758), L. terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758). Дослідження проводилися з квітня по вересень 2016 року, як на свинофермах, так і на пасовищах. У теплий період року ми не спостерігали виражених змін поширеності та інтенсивності інфекції. Найвищі показники інфікування були виявлені у дощових черв’яків, що живуть під дерев’яною підлогою свинарників і в її тріщинах. У досліджуваних місцевостях личинки метастронгілідів були виявлені у найбільш поширених хробаках сімейства Lumbricidae: E. foetida, D. rubidus, A. caliginosa, L. rubellus., В статье представлены данные о распространенности и интенсивности заражения личинками метастронгилида дождевых червей на предприятиях свиноводства Киевской и Житомирской областей Украины. В исследованных районах были собраны и идентифицированы шесть видов люмбрицидов: Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826), Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826), A. caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), Dendrodrilus rubidus (Savigny, 1826), Lumbricus rubellus ( Linnaeus, 1758), L. terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758). Исследования проводились с апреля по сентябрь 2016 года как на свинофермах, так и на пастбищах. Мы не наблюдали выраженных изменений в распространенности и интенсивности инфекции в теплый период года. Самые высокие уровни заражения были обнаружены у дождевых червей, живущих под деревянным полом свинарников и в его трещинах. В изученных местах личинки метастронгилид были обнаружены у наиболее распространенных червей семейства Lumbricidae: E. foetida, D. rubidus, A. caliginosa и L. rubellus.

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient for plant growth. However, P is often poorly available for uptake by roots because it strongly adsorbs to the soil mineral phase. Recent research shows that earthworms can temporally and locally increase P availability to plants. However, the pathways through which they do so are not fully understood, and it remains unclear to what extent this capacity varies among earthworm species. Here we study the variation among earthworm species with respect to readily-available P in casts as well as other physico-chemical cast properties, in a greenhouse pot experiment using a soil with a low P status. The earthworms belong to eight commonly occurring earthworm species in the Netherlands: two epigeic species (a mixture of the compost earthworms Dendrobaena veneta/Eisenia fetida; Lumbricus rubellus); four endogeic species (Allolobophora chlorotica, Aporrectodea caliginosa, Aporrectodea rosea, Octolasion lacteum); and two anecic species (Aporrectodea longa; Lumbricus terrestris). For all species, the pH in water extracts of earthworm cast (pH = 7.4–8.2) was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than for the control bulk soil (pH = 6.6) and differed significantly (p = 0.003) among earthworm species. Similarly, the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration in the same water extracts was an order of magnitude higher in earthworm cast compared to the control bulk soil and varied among species (p < 0.001). The size of the total pool of reversibly adsorbed P in earthworm cast was greater than in the control bulk soil, but no significant differences were found among earthworm species. Differences among species were present for the readily-available P pools extracted from casts, including P-Olsen and water-extractable ortho-P. Water-extractable ortho-P concentrations were much higher in the casts of all species as compared to the control bulk soil (0.9–6.8 vs 0.06 mg l−1 or to 9.0–68 vs 0.6 mg kg−1). Highest ortho-P levels were measured in L. rubellus casts and the lowest in casts of A. chlorotica. A positive correlation between the concentrations of DOC and ortho-P was observed (R2 = 0.72, p < 0.001). The observed variation in all measured physico-chemical cast properties could not be explained by conventional ecological earthworm classifications. Our results show that the nature and magnitude of earthworm-induced increased P availability differs dramatically among earthworm species. This strongly suggests that, apart from its size, species composition of the earthworm community is key to optimizing P availability to plants.

The current study explores the influence of soil organic matter content on abundance and biomass of earthworm communities. The observation was carried out on three type of soils: PellicVertisols (very fine texture), Cromi-Vertic Luvisols (fine texture) and Calcaric Fluvisols (mediumtexture) from the Balkan Peninsula (Bulgaria). The field experiment was provided on uncultivatedplots. In the studied area earthworm fauna comprises of four species: Aporrectodea rosea,Aporrectodea caliginosa, Lumbricus terrestris and Octolasion lacteum. We found peregrine lumbricidtaxa, which are widely distributed in European soils. Our study demonstrated that soil organicmatter has a positive effect on lumbricid populations. It was revealed that augmentation of soilorganic matter favours characteristics of earthworm communities. The soil organic matter contentand earthworm abundance are in strong positive correlation (r > 0.981). The same relationship wasrevealed between the biomass of lumbricid fauna and amount of soil organic matter (r > 0.987). Insum, the soil organic matter could be used as an indicator for earthworm communities inuncultivated soils.

By means of a literature survey, earthworm species of significant relevance for soil functions in different biogeographical regions of Europe (Atlantic, Boreal, Mediterranean) were identified. These focal earthworm species, defined here according to the EFSA Guidance Document on the environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified plants, are typical for arable soils under crop rotations with maize and/or potatoes within the three regions represented by Ireland, Sweden and Spain, respectively. Focal earthworm species were selected following a matrix of four steps: Identification of functional groups, categorization of non-target species, ranking species on ecological criteria, and final selection of focal species. They are recommended as appropriate non-target organisms to assess environmental risks of genetically modified (GM) crops; in this case maize and potatoes. In total, 44 literature sources on earthworms in arable cropping systems including maize or potato from Ireland, Sweden and Spain were collected, which present information on species diversity, individual density and specific relevance for soil functions. By means of condensed literature data, those species were identified which (i) play an important functional role in respective soil systems, (ii) are well adapted to the biogeographical regions, (iii) are expected to occur in high abundances under cultivation of maize or potato and (iv) fulfill the requirements for an ERA test system based on life-history traits. First, primary and secondary decomposers were identified as functional groups being exposed to the GM crops. In a second step, anecic and endogeic species were categorized as potential species. In step three, eight anecic and endogeic earthworm species belonging to the family Lumbricidae were ranked as relevant species: Aporrectodea caliginosa, Aporrectodea rosea, Aporrectodea longa, Allolobophora chlorotica, Lumbricus terrestris, Lumbricus friendi, Octodrilus complanatus and Octolasion cyaneum. Five out of these eight species are relevant for each biogeographical region with an overlap in the species. Finally, the earthworm species Ap. caliginosa (endogeic, secondary decomposer) and L. terrestris (anecic, primary decomposer) were selected as focal species. In the Mediterranean region L. terrestris may be substituted by the more relevant anecic species L. friendi. The selected focal species are recommended to be included in a standardized laboratory ERA test system based on life-history traits. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Given the well-known role of earthworms in the functioning and health of soils and whole ecosystems, feasible and reliable studies of their abundance and diversity in agricultural lands are essential for the effective design of best agricultural practices. However, previous work has shown that the extraction efficiency of different methods proposed seems to depend on species and size of earthworms and presumably on soil type, which makes creating an earthworm inventory difficult. In the present study, we compare the efficiency of five earthworm extraction methods combining hand-sorting with chemical expellants (hand-sorting, formalin, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), formalin + hand-sorting and AITC + hand-sorting) over a wide range of soil properties (depth, texture and water regime) in cultivated and semi-natural habitats found in a Mediterranean region (CW-Spain). Sampling efficacy was measured in terms of number of earthworms extracted, taking into account different species, ecological groups, development stages, size of individuals, and soil properties. We found 20 species, only 6 endogeic and 1 anecic species being abundant. The anecic Aporrectodea trapezoides responded reasonably to chemical expellants, as did certain soil surface dwelling endogeic species (Microscolex phosphoreus and Microscolex dubius), with above 50% of specimens of these species sampled after chemical application. For other endogeic species, such as Allolobophora molleri and Aporrectodea rosea, chemical expellants gave poor results (

In the current study the diversity, zoogeographical position and distribution of earthworms from Sredna Gora Mountain (Bulgaria) is presented. During the present investigation, altogether ten earthworm species belonging to seven genera were collected. Among them, seven taxa are reported for the first time from the Sredna Gora Mt.: Cernosvitovia rebeli, Dendrobaena alpina, Allolobophoridella eiseni, Dendrodrilus rubidus rubidus, Aporrectodea caliginosa, Aporrectodea rosea and Lumbricus terrestris. On the basis of the new and literature data here we provide the first list of lumbricid earthworms from Sredna Gora Mountain.

Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826) is a cosmopolitan earthworm widespread throughout the Holarctic. The available data on A. rosea genetic diversity (mainly from the Mediterranean region) suggests that this species can be divided into the Mediterranean and the Eurosiberian lineages. In this study we tested molecular variation within this species from the Northeastern Palearctic, namely from Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, using nuclear and mitochondrial sequences. We detected previously unknown genetic diversity within the Eurosiberian lineage: basal representatives of this group from the south of Belarus were only distantly related to the rest of the lineage. This suggests that after the split of A. rosea into the Mediterranean and the Eurosiberian lineages, the latter diversified in eastern Europe with subsequent recolonization of the Mediterranean region. The paleogeographic history of this species is thus more complex than it was thought earlier. We found that A. rosea significantly increased its range over the last two decades, now being found in West Siberia; genetic diversity there is low compared to European Russia and Belarus. Compared to the closely related A. caliginosa, A. rosea had lower genetic diversity, probably caused by fewer dispersal events.

Soil invertebrates are crucial for agroecosystem functioning yet sensitive to agricultural practices, including fertilization. Considering the postulates of circular phosphorus economy, the use of fertilizers from secondary raw materials is likely to return and increase and may even become obligatory. The effects of recycled fertilizers on soil fauna communities, however, remain poorly understood. In this paper, the effect of phosphorus fertilizer (RecF) and biofertilizer (RecB) from sewage sludge ash and dried animal (porcine) blood on earthworm’s occurrence in soil is discussed. RecB is RecF activated by phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, Bacillus megaterium. Waste-based fertilizers were assessed in field experiments against commercial superphosphate and no P fertilization. Three levels of P doses were established (17.6, 26.4, and 35.2 kg P ha−1). Earthworms were collected after the test crop harvest (spring or winter wheat). In the experiments two earthworm species, Aporrectodea caliginosa and Aporrectodea rosea, were identified. A large proportion of juvenile individuals were recorded in 2017. The recycled fertilizers used in the experiments used in recommended doses, similarly to superphosphate, did not alter the density, biomass, species composition, and structure of earthworms. Further long-term field research is recommended.

Earthworms are often used as test subjects in toxicological studies, due to their ubiquitousness and sensitivity to contaminant exposure. Such testing is typically conducted using Eisenia fetida as the test subject, but continued use of E. fetida (eco) toxicology is questionable. Therefore, in this study three earthworm species, Aporrectodea rosea, Aporrectodea trapezoides and E. fetida, were exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) nitrate in artificial soil for 7, 14 and 28 days. A biomarker of genotoxicity (TUNEL assay), biochemical markers [malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC)], weight loss, lethal toxicity (LC50) and subcellular partitioning were assessed. Cadmium and Pb caused significant inhibition in TAC and growth and significant increases in DNA damage and lipid peroxidation in the earthworms. Acute toxicity rank (14 days) for both Cd and Pb were E. fetida > A. trapezoides > A. rosea. Subcellular partitioning of Cd and Pb in the earthworms were cytosol > debris > granules and debris > granules > cytosol, respectively. Comparison of biomarker responses between study species showed that E. fetida proved to be less susceptible to Cd and Pb exposure than A. rosea and A. trapezoides. Therefore, this study confirms that A. rosea and A. trapezoides are more suitable as subjects than E. fetida for the soil toxicity tests, because of both their greater susceptibility to toxicants and in their abundance in the field.

The articlepresents the data on prevalence and intensity of earthworms’ infection with metastrongylid larvae in porkproduction enterprises of Kyiv and Zhytomyr Regions of Ukraine. In the investigated areas, six speciesof lumbricids were collected and identifed: Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826), Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny,1826), A. caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), Dendrodrilus rubidus(Savigny, 1826), Lumbricus rubellus (Linnaeus,1758), L. terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758). Te studies were carried out from April to September, 2016, both inpig farms and on pastures. We observed no pronounced changes in prevalence and intensity of infection during the warm period of the year. Te highest infection rates were detected in earthworms living underthe wooden floor of pigpens and in its cracks. In the studied localities, metastrongylid larvae were found inthe most common worms of the Lumbricidae family: E. foetida, D. rubidus, A. caliginosa, and L. rubellus. &nbsp

In recent years, the increasing number of biogas plants in operation has also led to a considerable rise in fermentative substrates, which are now widely used as agricultural fertilizers. The impact on earthworm fauna of using biogas digestate as a fertilizer has yet to be sufficiently researched. At two different tests sites, the short-term (four months after fertilization) and longer-term (three-year test period) influence of using fermented residues as a fertilizer was examined on earthworm density, biomass and community composition compared to using traditional fertilizers (cattle and pig slurry, chemical fertilizers as well as an unfertilized control). The crop grown was maize (Zea mays L.). Applying biogas digestate and slurry had a positive overall impact at both sites on earthworm density and biomass. Observing different fertilization regimes in the short term, the significantly highest earthworm density was seen where slurry had been applied. In the treatments with digestate and conventional slurry, earthworm biomass differed significantly in comparison with chemical fertilization and the untreated variant. After three years, earthworm biomass in the variants fertilized with conventional slurry and digestate tended to be higher than in the chemical fertilizer and untreated variants. Community composition was strongly influenced by the application of digestate. A decrease in the species Aporrectodea rosea was accompanied by an increase in Aporrectodea caliginosa. The earthworm population was supported equally positively at both sites by the variants with conventional slurry and digestate.

The earthworm fauna of Greece is reviewed. According to the up-to-date checklist, the earthworm fauna of Greece consists of 67 species and subspecies, of which 59 taxa belong to the family Lumbricidae, three to Megascolecidae, two to Acanthodrilidae and to Ocnerodrilidae and one taxon to the family Criodrilidae. Three species are recorded for the first time from the country: Allolobophora kosowensis kosowensis Karaman, 1968, Amynthas gracilis (Kinberg, 1867) and Eukerria saltensis (Beddard, 1895). Eisenia spelaea var. athenica Černosvitov, 1938 is proposed to be a synonym of Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826). The earthworm fauna of Greece is characterized by a large number of strict endemic species belonging to the family Lumbricidae (9 taxa), together with the occurrence of another 10 Balkanic endemic species.

Eisenia nordenskioldi subsp. nordenskioldi (Eisen, 1879) is the most cold-tolerant earthworm species that is widespread in Northern Eurasia. We analyzed genetic variation among several geographically remote populations of E. n. nordenskioldi, as well as several other species of Lumbricidae, using mitochondrial (cox1) and nuclear ribosomal (ITS2) sequence markers. According to both markers, species of the genus Eisenia did not form a clade; in contrast, E. n. nordenskioldi and Eisenia nordenskioldi subsp. pallida grouped together with Siberian Aporrectodea rosea and Lumbricus rubellus on the phylogenetic tree built using combined cox1 + ITS2 data, suggesting that these species form an endemic Siberian clade. E. n. nordenskioldi turned out to be non-monophyletic and consisted of six highly diverged lineages having distinct distribution areas. Genetic variation within these lineages was also very high and geographically structured. Phylogeographic patterns within the lineages may suggest that their distributions was not affected by Pleistocene glaciations, and, therefore, may be a useful source of information for biogeographic reconstructions of Northern Eurasia.

Two new megadrile earthworms from the steppes, the first species wholly from Outer Mongolia, are ascribed to the partially parthenogenetic Eisenia nordenskioldi (Eisen, 1879) species-complex. Taxonomic justification of sympatric Eisenia nordenskioldi mongol and E. nordenskioldi onon ssp. n. are supported by mtDNA COI barcodes. The unreliability of molecular differentiation based on voucher names compared to definitive types is again demonstrated, as pertains to the ultimate Eisenia andrei Bouché, 1972 synonym of the E. fetida (Savigny, 1826) sibling species-complex composed of more than a dozen prior names. Similar species described from Northeast China [formerly Manchuria] and North Korea are briefly considered, albeit they are intermittently held in synonymy of cosmopolitan Aporrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826) along with many other taxa including some exotic lumbricids initially found in India. Japanese and North American lumbricids are also mentioned. Distributions are discussed and an annotated checklist of all nine Siberian/sub-arctic E. nordenskioldi ssp. is appended.
