...R. J. Blakemore; K. L. Elton The Australian earthworm. Spenceriella macleayi (Fletcher 1889) (Megascolecidae: Oligochaeta) is redescribed in detail, an illustration is provided and its taxonomy is discussed. Specimens were collected from managed land at Richmond, NSW, a regon within its original...

... globally, it is inevitable that most terrestrial animals including the species in our study incidentally consume them on occasion. It has been shown that spores can remain viable after passing through the digestive tract of invertebrates such as earthworms and acarid mites (Keller and Smith 1978; Murray et...

... is an insatiable organism that is really thriving. It is dragging things out of us, all possible things. To give one example of a radio show, the old Earthworm that came on the ABC which was supposed to be an in-depth type program, I was asked to be interviewed for that with Marilyn Fox who...

... (mean, 39.9mm) in length. The other four, together with 43 surviving out of the 52 Prospect Reservoir fish, were placed in five 90 L aquaria (7,7,8,12,13 in each), which were aerated and contained aquatic plants and some rocks. Fish in aquaria were fed once daily on fresh or frozen earthworms...

The fish were regularly observed for signs of courtship display and the aquaria were examined daily for signs of nest formation or egg deposition. On a number of occasions during cooler months...

The tortoises have six lean months over the aestivation period but, come September, if the rains have been good, they glut themselves on live aquatic animals: tadpoles, earthworms, Daphnia and small invertebrates of all kinds...

Stomach contents were of a very miscellaneous nature, including green vegetable matter (evidently leaves of some sort), fleshy roots, fruits, earthworms, larval grubs...

... [at that time apparently Annulata was a taxon of Articulata, nearly equivalent to Annelida, including marine annelids, Gephyrea (Echiura, Sipuncula and Priapulida), Gymnotoma (Archiannelida), earthworms, leeches, and others] numbering five orders accepted by him. This opinion found its way into some recent...
