• Ecosystem engineerBroader topic: Its burrowing and feeding mix soil and influence its structure and nutrient cycling.

• Cutaneous respirationBroader topic: Earthworms depend on skin exchange rather than lungs or gills.

• Ecosystem engineeringBroader topic: Its burrowing and casting mix soil, changing its structure and nutrient conditions.

• HermaphroditismBroader topic: Earthworms typically exchange sperm as simultaneous hermaphrodites.

• Soil biodiversityBroader topic: Earthworms mix soil, create channels, and redistribute organic material.

• CompostRelated: Earthworms process organic residues in vermicomposting and can further transform compost in soil.

• AnnelidBroader topic: Earthworms mix soil and create channels that affect its structure and drainage.

• AnnelidaBroader topic: Earthworms illustrate segmented locomotion and soil-based feeding.

• ChaetaBroader topic: Its short chaetae grip soil as body segments extend and contract.

• GizzardBroader topic: Its gizzard grinds swallowed material after it passes through the crop.

• Niche constructionBroader topic: Earthworms change soil structure and nutrient cycling, reshaping conditions for plants and other organisms.

• European badgerRelated: Earthworms are a major food source for European badgers, especially in moist conditions.

• OligochaetaBroader topic: Earthworms are the best-known members traditionally assigned to Oligochaeta.

• American robinRelated: Robins often locate and pull earthworms from lawns and other open ground.

• MoonratRelated: Earthworms are among the invertebrate prey eaten by moonrats.

• TubifexCompared with: Earthworms share oligochaete ancestry with Tubifex but are adapted to land rather than aquatic sediment.

• Common blackbirdRelated: They are a frequent prey item in the blackbird’s ground-foraging diet.

• Eastern moleRelated: They are a major prey item encountered in the eastern mole's underground foraging.

• Giant Gippsland earthwormNarrower topic: This species shares the basic body plan and underground life of earthworms.

• VermicompostRelated: Its feeding, burrowing, and cast production drive the physical breakdown of waste.
