DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in Lumbricus
To determine if the conversion of the mercuric ion in soil to a water insoluble salt would reduce the soil bioavailability of Hg to earthworms, worm boxes with Hg2+ contaminated soils were treated with either sodium hydrogen phosphate or sodium sulfate before the addition of Lumbricus
invasions substantially alter forest floor habitats, and it is possible they influence Hermit Thrush nesting locations and territory densities.
terrestris / Regenwurm/ kommt in feuchten Nachten auf die Oberfache, und das ist so (eingerichtet), damit er Pflanzenteile aufnimmt.
Experiment carried out at the University of Lubiana, Slovenia in 1987-1988 with Californian worms (Latin name is: Lumbricus
Teresticus) shows that the weight of living Californian worms is greater than of the same dead ones; gravitational force of the cosmic space is stronger on the living worms than on the same dead ones.
He says if their powers were used properly, lumbricus
terrestris could be the environmental trouble-shooters of the next Millennium.
We have about 20 types of worm native to Britain which live at depths down to 7ft in the case of Lumbricus
terrestris and in everything from soil to manure heaps, as in the case of the brandling, Eisenia foetida.

Five composite samples of common species individuals were composed (Table 1): epigeic species Dendrobaena octaedra (Savigny, 1826) and Lumbricus
rubellus (Hoffmeister 1843), endogeic species Arorrectodea rosea (Savigny, 1826) and Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), anecic species Lumbricus
terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758).
