The nunatak and tabula rasa hypotheses may be compatible: the European phylogeography of a riparian earthworm.

The study examines the phylogeography of the earthworm Eiseniella tetraedra to assess compatibility between the nunatak and tabula rasa hypotheses, finding both were necessary to explain its distribution.

Environmental drivers of earthworm communities along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps

The paper examines earthworm communities along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps, finding that treeline ecotones, rather than altitude alone, drive community diversity and abundance.

Local adaptation fuels cryptic speciation in terrestrial annelids

The paper identifies three cryptic species in earthworms using genomic and morphometric analyses, revealing local adaptation and regulatory divergence as key drivers of cryptic speciation.

Genome-informed integrative taxonomic description of three cryptic species in the earthworm genus Carpetania (Oligochaeta, Hormogastridae)

The paper describes three cryptic earthworm species using genomic and morphological data, identifying species-specific SNPs and genetic distances.
