• Invasion of exotic earthworms into ecosystems inhabited by native earthworms (2006, background): “Bacteria phylotypes isolated from intestinal tissue of Lumbricus rubellus were not detected in cast material or bulk soil, but it was suggested that the association was opportunistic rather than obligate (Singleton et al. 2003).”
• Trophic transfer of fatty acids from gut microbiota to the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris L (2006, methodology): “…community in the gut that differ from that in the bulk soil has been probed for several soil organisms and it has also been suggested for earthworms by studies using other tools such as FISH and rRNA probes (Fischer et al., 1995; Schonholzer et al., 2002, 2003, 2004; Singleton et al., 2003, 2004).”
