Policy and management responses to earthworm invasions in North America (2006, background): “Second, international commerce involving horticultural materials has been identified as a source of propagules for new earthworm species (Gates 1982; Hendrix and Bohlen 2002).”
Distribution and impacts of invasive earthworms in Canadian forest ecosystems (2008, background): “Earthworm invasions typically occur in waves (Hendrix and Bohlen 2002; James and Hendrix 2004; Suárez et al. 2006; Eisenhauer et al. 2007).”
Fifty years of change in northern upland forest understories: Identity and traits of “winner” and “loser” plant species (2006, background): “The recent invasion of European earthworms poses another threat to understory species (Hendrix and Bohlen, 2002; Callaham et al., 2003; Hale et al., 2005).”
Macroinvertebrates in North American tallgrass prairie soils: effects of fire, mowing, and fertilization on density and biomass (2003, background): “All native North American earthworm species were identified to genus, and European earthworms were identified IO species when possible.”
Non‐native invasive earthworms as agents of change in northern temperate forests (2004, background): “The introduction of these species into new habitats is facilitated by human activity, such as the construction of logging roads, direct releases of unused fishing bait by anglers, and the relocation of fill or horticultural materials (Hendrix and Bohlen 2002).”
Invasion of a deciduous forest by earthworms : Changes in soil chemistry, microflora, microarthropods and vegetation (2007, background): “Human activity, such as the construction of logging roads and releases of unused fishing bait by anglers, facilitate the invasion process (Hendrix and Bohlen, 2002).”
Invasion of exotic earthworms into ecosystems inhabited by native earthworms (2006, background): “While these effects are usually considered desirable in agricultural soils, recent interest has focused on detrimental impacts of invasive, exotic earthworms on soil processes in wildland ecosystems (Hendrix and Bohlen 2002; Bohlen et al. 2004a,b; James and Hendrix 2004).”
From peds to paradoxes: linkages between soil biota and their influences on ecological processes. (2008, background): “The policy implications for monitoring the movement and impacts of invasive earthworms were reviewed by Hendrix and Bohlen (2002).”
Introduced invertebrates are important prey for a generalist predator (2005, background): “Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) and earthworms (Oligochaeta, Lumbridicae) are two other groups for which most or all species present in northern North America are introduced (Jass & Klausmeier, 2000; Hendrix & Bohlen, 2002).”
Earthworm invasions in the tropics (2006, background): “most important animals influencing the functioning of soil ecosystems (Hendrix and Bohlen 2002).”
