Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology of Mutualism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define mutualism as "an interaction between species that is beneficial to both" since it has both historical priority (311) and general currency (general currency).
Journal ArticleDOI
Pandora's Box Contained Bait : The Global Problem of Introduced Earthworms
Paul F. Hendrix,Mac A. Callaham,John M. Drake,Ching-Yu Huang,Samuel W. James,Bruce A. Snyder,Weixin Zhang +6 more
TL;DR: A number of endogenous and exogenous factors that may contribute to the successful establishment and spread of peregrine species are identified and quantification of these factors may help to determine why certain species become invasive while others do not.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA Barcoding Reveals Cryptic Diversity in Lumbricus terrestris L., 1758 (Clitellata): Resurrection of L. herculeus (Savigny, 1826)
Samuel W. James,Samuel W. James,David Porco,David Porco,Thibaud Decaëns,Benoit Richard,Rodolphe Rougerie,Rodolphe Rougerie,Christer Erséus +8 more
TL;DR: Large numbers of DNA barcode sequences of the cytochrome oxidase I obtained for nominal L. terrestris and six congeneric species reveal that there are two distinct lineages within nominal L, herculeus, and the two are morphologically indistinguishable, except by overlapping size-related characters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Organic Matter Processing by Earthworms in Tallgrass Prairie
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated cast production and rates of nutrient processing by the native genus Diplocardia and by exotic Lumbricidae in permanent plots on two soil types at Konza Prairie Research Natural Area.
Journal Article

Barrie G. M. Jamieson,Simon Tillier,Annie Tillier,Jean-Lou Justine,Edmund Y. S. Ling,Samuel W. James,Keith R. McDonald,Andrew F. Hugall +7 more
TL;DR: La congruence et le soutien de pouvoir combine soutiennent nos conclusions : la plupart des groupements ont ete bases sur des homoplasies, par exemple l'origine multiple des prostates racemeuses et de the meronephridie de « type Dichogastrinae ».
