The National Earthworm Recording Scheme has just published its 2015 recording scheme report.
2015 was the most productive year to date! They received 3,488 new earthworm records for their database, with Earthworm Society of Britain (ESB) recorders submitting 925 earthworm records (a healthy increase on the 608 records submitted by ESB recorders in 2014). They also received new earthworm records for some of Britain’s rarest earthworms:Aporrectodea limicola, Helodrilus oculatus and Dendrobanea pygmaea.
This report illustrates some of the findings and results of the National Earthworm Recording Scheme, as well as explaining the scheme’s developments, promoting their 2016 events and publishing the 2015 Earthworm Society recorder league table.
