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.

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: This study clarifies an ecological mechanism by which earthworms may regulate the terrestrial carbon sink and introduces the new concept of sequestration quotient to quantify the unequal processes.

TL;DR: Results showed that the effect of heavy metal contamination on soil nematodes might be strongly influenced by plants, and the ''weighted faunal analysis'' provided a better assessment of soil health condition than Maturity Index (MI) in situations where there were extremely low numbers of soil Nematodes.

TL;DR: The interaction between two of the most widespread earthworm invaders in the world is explored and the effects of species invasiveness and habitat invasibility separately are studied separately through an alternative approach of "third habitat" in Tennessee, USA.
