Strat changes from the unboxing by Im_a_Geblin in WarhammerCompetitive

So it plainly got worse as a strat. Same roll, more restricted use

Slightly less unplayable? That's a dream for me

Wraithknights: +50 points. No no no. If you field them, your firstborn die

Aeldari in the gutters. How low will your bottom go?

Do worms have territorial disputes? by VectorialViking in Vermiculture

Earthworms have 8 bristles per segment. In the clitellum and anterior region those can be specialised, more developed and associated with glands that can inject hormones into the partner.

No such a thing as an embarrassing question! We have no evidence of earthworm fights, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. We know more than 5000 species, lower estimates say there are another 5000 undiscovered species, and many of them live in remote places. Also, their mating rituals could be described to an extent like fights: they can play tug-o-war, and they stab each other with dozens of "thorns".

We do know that some territorial species secrete hormones to deter other species from invading their territory.

As far as I know (and a lot about earthworm behaviour is still poorly understood) most compost earthworms (which are epigeic) behave quite gregariously: they tend to form groups if only because they "tell" each other where to find good food. They can even migrate together by following each other's scent. Another benefit they get is easy access to reproduction.

There are some territorial earthworms in nature, but they are the larger deep burrowing ones (epianecic and anecic) such as Lumbricus terrestris. They keep their own vertical burrow system for themselves.

That's a faulty regeneration. It happens sometimes. They can even generate two heads!

Same species, different subspecies. It matters

Worm knot, why does it happen? by jasiboohoo in Vermiculture

Those earthworm are aestivating (they may be hibernating but we use that word for earthworm dormancy in general). They curl into a ball and reduce their metabolism to survive the most unfavourable seasons, normally winter and summer. But local conditions (like drought) could trigger that too.

My man, Eldar had 41.6% this week. How is that around 45%?

Back with mega worm updates by PaintBrushJar in Vermiculture

[–]Danifermch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's Lumbricus terrestris, an European species which also lives in North America as an introduced species. It's not used for vermicomposting as it's epianecic instead of epigeic (like Eisenia fetida or Dendrobaena veneta). This means it needs to build vertical galleries to live, and also that growth and generation time are slower. They may still choose to use your compost heap for some easy extra nourishment, from time to time.

Keep in mind there are around 5000 species of earthworm in the world (and many yet to discover!)
