Abstract

The communities, roles and morphology of present-day earthworms are the fruits of a long period of evolution: present abilities or inabilities to perform certain functions or to saturate available niches are the expression of a genome inherited from their past. This chapter attempts to trace the origins of present earthworm communities from geological times.
