Earthworms of the UK Part 2

The UK has 31 species of earthworms that can be found occurring in natural habitats that have been recorded to date. This presentation will explore these species and discuss what we know and what we don't know about them. Within the Earthworms of the UK webinars, we'll look at both common and rare species, including which species have been introduced from other parts of the world and highlight some species where the UK population could potentially be of global significance.

This webinar will explore the following species:

• Aporrectodea rosea
• Dendrobaena attemsi
• Dendrobaena hortensis
• Dendrobaena octaedra
• Dendrobaena veneta
• Lumbricus castaneus
• Lumbricus festivus
• Lumbricus rubellus
• Octolasion cyaneum
• Octolasion lacteum
• Satchellius mammalis

This webinar will be recorded and the presentation will be made available following the event to those booked alongside a transcript of the Q&A and useful links.
