Genetic variation in populations of the earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, across contaminated mine sites.

BMC genetics - 17 Nov 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Populations of the earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, are commonly found across highly contaminated former mine sites and are considered to have under-gone selection for mitigating metal toxicity. Comparison of adapted populations with those found on less contaminated soils can provide insights into ecological processes that demonstrate the long-term effects of soil contamination. Contemporary sequencing...
