| Abstract: | Recent field research shows that the ubiquitous Lumbricus terrestris and Octolasion lacteum (the large parthenogenetic form) have invaded new habitats in Romania, replacing mostly endemic or rare species of the former earthworm communities which were recorded 20–30 years ago. Seven different cases of earthworm invasion are currently described. Invader species have larger ecological tolerances as compared with the endemic species. |
