Decaëns, ThibaudRangel Becerra, AFThomas, Richard J.Asakawa, N.Thomas, Richard J.[Dinámica del carbono y del nitrógeno en las heces de diferente edad depositadas por lombrices en áreas de sabana y de pastizal en los Llanos Orientales de Colombia]Dinámica del carbono y del nitrógeno en las heces de diferente edad depositadas por lombrices en áreas de sabana y de pastizal en los Llanos Orientales de Colombia

The effects of Martiodrilus carimaguensis (Oligochaeta, Glossoscolecidae) on soil seed banks was investigated in a Colombian savanna and two introduced pastures. Germination and washing-sieving methods were used to compare seed density, diversity, and germination rates in earthworm casts and the ...

An ecological classification based on a set of morphological characters may be used to describe earthworm functions in soil. However these relationships have been seldom verified. Gizzards of the earthworm Martiodrilus carimaguensis (Glossoscolecidae) were studied to find out if its anecic morpho...

The effects of different types of land management on the soil macroinvertebrate communities on acid soil savannas of Colombia have been assessed using the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Program (TSBF) methodology. Invertebrates were identified among broad taxonomic units, TU (Orders or Famil...

Martiodrilus carimaguensis (Oligochaeta, Glossoscolecidae) is a large, anecic native earthworm species which was found in natural and disturbed savannas in the Oxisols of the Colombian Llanos. The population dynamics of this species were studied in a native savanna, and in a 17-year-old grazed gr...

This was especially due to the presence of a large glossoscolecid anecic species, Martiodrilus carimaguensis Jim\233nez and Moreno, which has been greatly favored by conversion of savanna to pasture. Endogeic species were dominant in the natural savanna whereas the anecic species accounted for th...

The vertical distribution of native earthworm species from natural and disturbed savannas in the Oxisols of the Colombian Llanos was assessed in a native savanna and in a 17-year-old grazed grass-legume pasture during a period of 17 months. Different patterns of vertical stratification were `Obse...

A detailed description and drawings of the aestivation chambers of five earthworm species are given plus a complete analysis of the mechanistic processes that determine this behavioral pattern for one anecic species from Colombia. The onset of aestivation differed in adults and juveniles for two ...

Fourteen types of physical structures produced on the soil surface by ecological engineers were sampled in the Eastern Plains of Colombia. The invertebrates creating these structures were identified. Some physical (aggregate size and stability, and bulk density) and chemical (C, N, and P contents...
