TL;DR: It was found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms, which suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented data for termite assemblages across an anthropogenic disturbance gradient in the humid forest zone of West and Central Africa, and found that termite richness was negatively correlated with the disturbance gradient, although transects in areas with a complete or near complete canopy were broadly similar in species richness.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step approach integrating knowledge from biogeography and population biology with available Jatropha field data was used to predict Jatrophas fitness in response to climate by relating natural occurrence recorded in herbaria with bioclimatic geodatasets.

TL;DR: Overall termite abundance and the abundance of soil-feeders increased between November 1995 and July 1996, reaching a mean of nearly 6000 m -2, which may be due to the beneficial conditioning of soil resulting from the foraging and construction activities of soil -feeders.
