Urban forests perform essential ecological functions, and their performance is dependent on soil quality, which is often degraded by human activity. Because earthworms play a key role in soil health, augmenting earthworm populations in urban soils may improve tree performance. However, we know very little about earthworm ecology in highly urbanized soils. The objectives of our study were: (1) to assess earthworm demographics across a range of urban land uses and (2) to evaluate earthworm augmentation techniques for rehabilitating disturbed soils and improving tree growth. <ol><li> We conducte

Earthworms, Lumbricus terrestris, were challenged orally and intracoelomically with two bacterial species, Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and mortality rates were observed. Neither were found to be particularly pathogenic at injected doses of up to 108 bacteria per earthworm. The influence of Cu++ (as CuSO4) on the earthworm's response to bacterial challenge was investigated by exposing earthworms to sublethal levels of Cu++ prior to bacterial challenge. Exposure at sublethal concentrations up to 3 m g/cm2 did not have a pronounced influence on host resistance to challenge

Earthworms are well known for their casting and burrowing activities which improve soil structure and soil fertility. However, earthworm populations in temperate regions exhibit patchy distribution in space and time.

When ecotoxicologists assess the environmental impact of pollution they must pose a fundamental question.

A more sensitive method is the measurement of sub-lethal endpoints, such as growth and reproduction. However, measurement of these parameters may not give an 'early warning' of the impact of complex pollutants within any ecosystem. Therefore, so-called biomarkers have been develop

Les vers de terre, de par la production de turricules et de galeries jouent un rôle majeur dans la formation et l'entretien de la structure du sol avec des conséquences sur les transferts d'eau. Cependant, la majeure partie de nos connaissances concerne la famille des Lumbricidae, tandis que la famille la plus diversifiée, les Megascolecidae, est largement sous-étudiée. Par conséquent, cette thèse visait à mieux comprendre l'impact des vers de terre tropicaux de la famille des Megascolecidae sur la structure du sol et les transferts d'eau, en particulier en utilisant leurs traits morpho-anatom
