	Soil Bugs - An illustrated guide to New Zealand soil invertebrates
		Lumbricidae are the dominant earthworms of pastures and croplands of Europe.
		These Lumbricidae are topsoil species and live in soil close to the surface, where they feed on dung, dead roots and other dead plant material.
		The earthworms, and particularly their cocoons, are easily transported with soil or on roots of plants, which may explain the global spread of several European Lumbricidae, which are now the most common earthworms in human-dominated environments of New Zealand and temperate zone worldwide.

	Have spermatophores in Eisenia fetida (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) any reproductive role? - Science - RedOrbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The presence of spermatophores is widespread in earthworms from the family Lumbricidae but their function remains unclear.
		Spermatophores are defined as capsules formed by glands in the neighbourhood of the male pore, filled with spermatozoa and placed on the body of the partner (Michaelsen 1926).
		We observed that the spermatophores from mating earthworms were brighter in colour than spermatophores from non-mating earthworms, probably due to oxidation of the mucus around the sperm droplet.

		The presence of elateridae and lumbricidae depresses the uptake of Sr/sup 90/ and Ca/sup 45/ by corn roots.
		In contrast, the influence of lumbricidae on the uptake of isotopes by bean leaves is much stronger than the elateridae, while lumbricidae exhibits stronger depressive effects on Ca/sup 45/ and Sr/sup 90/ uptake by bean roots.

	Earthworm
		Earthworm, is a segmented worm of phylum ANNELIDA, class Oligochaeta.
		The class comprises some 14 families, including Lumbricidae, to which the common earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) belongs.
		Earthworms are separated from other oligochaetes by a combination of characteristics, including 8 setae per segment; multicellular clitellum; small eggs without yolks; 2 pairs of testes and one pair of ovaries; male pores opening behind female; and relatively large size, compared to aquatic species.

		Elsewhere they do not appear to be indigenous, but are replaced by the numerous other genera of the families enumerated in the article Chaetopoda (q.v.).
		It is a remarkable fact that these genera, comprizing a separate family Lumbricidae, when introduced into tropical and other countries, thrive abundantly and oust the indigenous forms.
		In gatherings of earthworms from various extra-European countries it is always found that if the collections have been made in cultivated ground and near the coast the worms are of European species; farther inland the native forms are met with.

		In Lumbricidae most of the species have the first dorsal pore around intersegmental furrow 5/6, but sometimes it may be difficult to find.
		In Lumbricidae intestinal gizzard may be observed at the beginning of the intestine.
		Because all of the possible outgroups of Lumbricidae (Vignisa, Ailoscolex, Hormogaster) possess only two pairs of vesicles in segments 11 and 12 we have to conclude that this might be the plesiomorph condition but in several cases a reversion from the apomorph four pairs state (9–12) should not be excluded.

	Use of 18S, 16S rDNA and cytochrome c oxidase sequences in earthworm taxonomy (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) - Science - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Lumbricidae taxonomy, which started with the work of Savigny (1826) and was developed by Rosa, Cernosvitov and Michaelsen (1900), has for a long period been dominated by Pop's simple and easy to handle system (1941), later completed by Omodeo (1956).
		The 18 species analyzed obviously cannot cover the who\le Lumbricidae family and it would be hazardous to try to discuss the validity or phylogenetic position of Lumbricidae genera.
		Therefore, its separation from the Lumbricidae to the family Criodrilidae or Glossoscolecidae (Oligochaeta) is supported by these genetic characters.
