In a former paper Kellogg and the writer have described the effects of a galvanic current on the body positions of Lumbricus Ierres~ris. 1 When the current flows transversely through such an animal or piece of one, the muscles respond by unilateral contraction on the cathodal side. The result is to bring the ends of the worm toward the cathode, thus forming a U with the median part nearest the ...

Bioinspired Robots In article number 2206336, Qinyan Zhou, Jian Xu, and Hongbin Fang pioneer a neurobiologically inspired control architecture for earthworm-like robotic in-pipe locomotion. The distributed oscillators serve as mapping between earthworm neural oscillations segment deformations, the collective dynamics of oscillator network is exploited to achieve complex gait patterns better loc...

18 The objective of this study was to relate the earthworm assemblage structure with three 19 different soil use intensities, and to indentify the physical, chemical, and 20 microbiological soil variables that are associated to the observed differences in the 21 earthworm assemblage structure between soils. Three soil uses were evaluated: 1Fifty 22 year old naturalized grasslands, low use inten...

Abstract Vermicompost is an organic fertilizer resulting from the decomposition of materials by utilizing earthworms. The presence these microorganisms means that vermicompost contains compounds are needed to increase soil fertility or for plant growth. This study aims analyze nutrients bio-vermicompost with a combination application techniques beneficial microbes and used factorial Completely ...
