This species was first described by German naturalist Fritz Müller in 1857 from Santa Catarina state of Brazil. It is commonly found in gardens, cropland and fallow lands. It tolerates wide range of climatic and edaphic factors due to its endogeic ecological category. P. corethrurus has high efficiency for organic matter assimilation and has ability to live in new habitat due to which it can survive even in very poor soil. The life cycle of this species is well documented and this species has economic importance due to its use in waste management. 1. Introduction There are total 505 earthworm’s species present in India; out of which 51 are exotic species [1, 2].

ABSTRACT. A reevaluation of South American oligochaetes produced 871 known species. Megadrile earthworms have rates of endemism around 90% in South America, while Enchytraeidae have less than 75% endemism, and aquatic oligochaetes have less than 40% endemic taxa in South America. Glossoscolecid species number 429 species in South America alone, a full two-thirds of the known megadrile earthworms. More than half of the South American taxa of Oligochaeta (424) occur in Brazil, being followed by Argentina (208 taxa), Ecuador (163 taxa), and Colombia (142 taxa).

    Enregistrement scientifique: 1977 Symposium n°: 11 Présentation: poster Seedlings and invertebrates in the casts of an anecic earthworm from Colombian savannas (Glossoscolecidae, Oligochaeta) Plantules et invertébrés dans les turricules d'un ver de terre anécique des savanes colombiennes (Glossoscolecidae, Oligochaeta) DECAENS Thibaud, LAVELLE Patrick Laboratoire d'Ecologie des Sols Tropicaux, ORSTOM Centre de Bondy, 32 Av. Varagnat, 93 143 Bondy cedex, France Large soil invertebrates, the ecosystem engineers, are able to dig the soil, produce organo-mineral structures and biopores, and hence influence the abundance and diversity of other soil organisms. This study aimed to assess changes in communities of macroinvertebrates and plant seeds that are induced by casting activity of the large anecic worm Martiodrilus carimaguensis Jiménez and Moreno. Experiments were carried out in natural savanna and introduced pasture of the Eastern Plains of Colombia. Macroinvertebrates and seeds were sampled in both surface casts and soil, using hand sorting and laboratory germination respectively. Results revealed important effects of earthworms on seed and macroinvertebrate communities: (1) The number of germinable seeds excreted each year in surface casts was important. Seedling richness and diversity were different in soil and casts. In the savanna, the composition of the seedlings emerging from casts was closer to the vegetation than the one of the seedlings emerging from soil. (2) The presence of surface casts positively affected macrofaunal density, richness and diversity, and modified the relative dominance of each ecological categories. These results are largely attributed to the modulation by earthworms of resource availability through: (i) concentration of organic matter and nutrients for humivorous invertebrates and seedlings, (ii) creation of suitable microhabitats for epigeic arthropods species, and (iii) proximity of the soil surface for viable seeds transported from deeper soil strata.

Janieson Departnent of Zoology University of Queensland Brisbane, Australia 4067 Received September20, L977 ABSTMCT: The nethods of Hennig for deducing phylogeny have been adapted for computer and a phylogran has been constructed together with a stereo- phylogran utilizing principle coordinates, for alL farnilies of opisthopor- ous oligochaetes, that is, the Oligochaeta with the exception of the Lunbriculida and Tubificina. A phenogran based on the sane attributes conpares unfavourably with the phyLogralnsin establishing an acceptable classification., Hennigrs principle that sister-groups be given equal rank has not been followed for every group to avoid elevation of the more plesionorph, basal cLades to inacceptabl.y high ranks, the 0ligochaeta being retained as a Subclass of the class Clitellata. Three orders are recognized: the LumbricuLida and Tubificida, which were not conputed and the affinities of which require further investigation, and the Haplotaxida, computed. The Order Haplotaxida corresponds preciseLy with the Suborder Opisthopora of Michaelsen or the Sectio Diplotesticulata of Yanaguchi. Four suborders of the Haplotaxida are recognized, the Haplotaxina, Alluroidina, Monil.igastrina and Lunbricina. The Haplotaxina and Monili- gastrina retain each a single superfanily and fanily. The Alluroidina contains the superfamiJ.y All"uroidoidea with the fanilies Alluroididae and Syngenodrilidae. The Lurnbricina consists of five superfaniLies.

Communities of these organisms are constituted by populations of different species assemblages. A high degree of spatio-temporal organization, with identified patches characterized by specific species assemblages, in which species coexist or co-occur according to assembly rules and/or competitive mechanisms for spatial and trophic resources occur. However, these studies have seldom been addressed. The spatio-temporal structure of a native earthworm community in a natural savanna and a grass-legume pasture in the Colombian “Llanos” was studied over a period of two years. A spatially explicit sampling design (regular grid) was used to unveil the distribution pattern of species assemblages in both systems by collecting earthworms from small soil cores (40x40x15 cm3) at three different sampling dates.

INTRODUÇÃO A Estação Ecológica de Maracá, pertencente ã Secretaria Especial do Meio Ambíen_ te, local iza-se no Município de Boa Vista, Estado de Roraima, Brasil, entre as coordena_ das de 3o15' a 3°35'N e 6l°22' a 6l°58'W. Ela ocupa todos os 92.000 ha da Ilha de Maracá no Rio Uraricoera, o qual é aqui dividido em dois canais, o Canal Maracá ao sul e o Canal Santa Rosa ao norte. Sua vegetação dominante é a floresta tropical úmida de terra firma, entremeada por pequenos campos de gramíneas, alguns pântanos e alagadiços e percorrida por diversos igarapés com formações de palmeiras buritis (Mauritia sp) por vezes bastante compactas, os buritizais. Eu coletei Oligochaeta na Ilha de Maracá em dezembro de 1979 > com auxílio da Secretaria Especial do Meio Ambiente, e em novembro de l$8j, como membro do projeto de pesquisas do Dr. João B. Ferraz (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Manaus). Nessas coletas, destinadas a trabalhos anátomo-sistemãticos, pude verificar a ocorrên­ cia de grande quantidade de minhocas pertencente a poucas espécies e que nas proximida des dos cursos de água, pântanos eburitizais são procuradas por catetos (Tayassu tayassu) e por aves diversas.

Different patterns of vertical stratification were observed for all species with a strong migration of populations to deeper layers in the dry season. The correlation between the size of the earthworms and the average depth at which they were found was not significant (p > 0.05) despite that bigger species locate deeper in the soil. The living habits and adaptive strategies of the smallest species, Ocnerodrilidae n. sp. found in both ecosystems studied are responsible for this pattern. This endogeic species is associated with organic pools of an anecic species and further studies should assess the role of this species in ecosystem functioning. Mature worms of one anecic species were located deeper than immature ones in the soil (p < 0.01**).

DOI 10.1590/0001-3765201820180308. Abstract: Our understanding of the impacts of ongoing global warming on terrestrial species has increased significantly during the last several years, but how climatic change has affected, and will affect, the distribution of earthworms remains largely unknown. We used climate niche modeling to model the current distribution of the giant earthworm Rhinodrilus alatus - an endemic species of the Cerrado Domain in Brazil, which is traditionally harvested and commercialized for fishing bait. R. alatus is sensitive to environmental changes because climate, in synergy with soil attributes, determine its annual reproductive cycle and distribution.
