• Multitrophic links between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and insect parasitoids (2003, background): “while Wurst & Jones (2003) found no effect of earth worm activity on aphid parasitism.”
• Introduced earthworms in agricultural and reclaimed land: their ecology and influences on soil properties, plant production and other soil biota (2006, background): “A few studies (Scheu et al. 1999; Wurst and Jones 2003; Newington et al. 2004) have recently implicated earthworms as influencing the abundance of above-ground herbivores and their natural enemies, as well as Collembola.”
• Rhizosphere fauna: the functional and structural diversity of intimate interactions of soil fauna with plant roots (2009, unknown): “2007) and recent studies provide convincing evidence that earthworms can induce subtle host-mediated changes that determine the disposition of plants to herbivore attack (Scheu et al. 1999; Wurst and Jones 2003).”
• Plant‐mediated effects of soil invertebrates and summer drought on above‐ground multitrophic interactions (2011, background): “For example, the biomass of Lolium perenne and Plantago lanceolata was increased by 50% when earthworms were added (Wurst & Jones 2003).”
• Factors affecting the evolution of development strategies in parasitoid wasps: the importance of functional constraints and incorporating complexity (2005, background): “The first published study that measured the indirect effects of a soil organism on parasitoid quality revealed that parasitoid size was unaffected by the presence of earthworms (Wurst & Jones, 2003).”
• A review of earthworm impact on soil function and ecosystem services (2013, background): “In addition, earthworm abundance affects plant pests such as aphids, possibly because of effects on food quality (Scheu et al ., 1999; Wurst & Jones, 2003) as well as plant communities (Eisenhauer & Scheu, 2008; Eisenhauer et al ., 2009; Laossi et al ., 2009b, 2011; Wurst et al ., 2011).”
