Potential of DNA barcoding for earthworm research in taxonomy and ecology

2013-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The biodiversity of soil animal communities is still poorly known. Most taxa, from the smaller body-sized to the large invertebrates of the macrofauna, suffer a strong taxonomic deficit. Earthworms comprise about 3700 described species, but this number probably only represents half of the actual worldwide diversity of the group. In many cases, earthworm species identification is impeded by the lack of stable and e...
