• Identification of the ecological requirements of important terrestrial ecotoxicological test species (2005, background): “fetida became a model organism for assessing the effects of chemicals on terrestrial saprotrophic invertebrates (Spurgeon et al. 2003).”
• Culture techniques for soil dwelling earthworms: A review (2005, background): “In addition, following development of the acute earthworm toxicity test (OECD, 1984), ecotoxicology became a field in which earthworms were making a significant contribution (e.g., Mosleh et al., 2003; Spurgeon et al., 2003).”
• Can Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn residues and Bt-corn plants affect life-history traits in the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa? (2006, methodology): “This is consistent with recommendations by experts in earthworm ecotoxicology (Van Gestel and Weeks, 2004; Spurgeon et al., 2003 ).”
• 1H NMR and GC/MS metabolomics of earthworm responses to sub-lethal DDT and endosulfan exposure (2009, background): “Earthworms account for a large portion of the total animal biomass found in soils, contribute significantly to organic matter degradation and soil fertility and are hence an ideal organism to assess ecosystem health (Paoletti 1999; Spurgeon et al. 2003; van Rhee 1977).”
• The values of soil animals for conservation biology (2006, background): “Disturbance associated with land management practices are extremely diverse, going from decrease in refuges or trophic resources in case of firewood harvesting ([59,97]) or modifications of soil microclimate following periodic fires ([25,34,41,55]), to high mortality of soil fauna consequently to ti”
