Abstracts ... Kraków: Jagiellonian University, 2006. p. 74.c2006  aEarthworms are known to be good indicators of soil conditions, due to their susceptibility to management practices, vegetation types, disturbance, and other environmental properties. Little is known of the earthworm communities of Paraná State, Brazil, and therefore the present study was undertaken to evaluate the earthworm communities in Atlantic Rainforest fragments in the vicinity of Londrina, Paraná State, Brazil, and the effect of forest disturbance on their populations. Earthworms were sampled from three forest fragments at 1) the Godoy Forest State Park (GF); 2) the Arthur Thomas Municipal Park (AT); 3) the State University of Londrina (UEL) campus.  aEarthworms  aEcology  aEcologia  aMinhoca1 aBROWN, G.
