1978: Water economy of the earthworm
Lumbricus terrestris L.: coping with the terrestrial environment.
The collected
Lumbricus rubellus earthworms were washed with running water to remove the mucus on its surface.
This study endeavors to increase knowledge of chronic toxic effects of Roundup PRO[R] on
Lumbricus terrestris in a microcosm setting.

* Leaf worms (
Lumbricus rubellus) live in the top leaf layer and the first few inches into the soil.
This finding is comparable to the work of Hobbelen, Koolhaas and Van Gastel (2006) who also identified different earthworms species (
Lumbricus rubellus and Apporectodea caliginosa) from an industrial field soil.
