摘要

Earthworm-seed interactions are increasingly recognized as ecologically important. Efforts to study these interactions make use of either no-choice or choice feeding trials due to logistical constraints or differing objectives, however, evidence is lacking regarding the consistency of feeding preferences by earthworms between these scenarios. We conducted a small-scale study in which we compared ingestion and egestion of eleven seed species by the anecic earthworm Lumbricus terrestris L. between no-choice and choice feeding dish trials. We found that seed ingestion and egestion differed between species and the seed ingestion preferences were relatively consistent (Pearson Correlation, r = 0.695) between the feeding trials. These results indicate that seeds preferred in isolation are similarly detectable and preferred alongside other options, aiding in the interpretation of results of other anecic earthworm-seed feeding experiments and suggesting that L. terrestris has a surprisingly strong ability to discriminate between and selectively consume specific seeds from a larger and diverse pool of species options.

Terrestris具有令人惊讶的强烈辨别和选择性地消耗特定种子的能力从更大而多样化的物种选择。
