And if you didn’t read that (don’t feel too bad, neither did OP) why would I take the time to find more articles you won’t read?
How about a quiz, if you accurately find the answers that are in the article, and post the answers you found for the class, I’ll find sources for the rest.
Show me you care about learning more than arguing, and I have zero issues taking the time to help.
Don’t, and that’s cool. But I’m not here to argue, so I’ll probably just block you
no, it doesnt. it talks about worms european colonizers brought, that you claim are fine, and doesn’t mention asia or “crazy worms” anywhere, nor any of the distinguishing behavior you’re talking about.
The article and what I said is 100% accurate about the northern US and most of Canada
It’s not accurate as to the southern US or North American in general. Wherever the glaciers came they killed the earthworms, and for the most part they didn’t bounce back (for reasons that to me are not clear) until the Europeans brought European worms, but outside of glacier reach everything was fine and earthworms and forests have both been happy.
Citation is OP article + Smithsonian link + Wikipedia link posted elsewhere; they all say more or less the same thing
Crazy worms are real; it’s a whole different issue of invasive species as opposed to the issue of normal earthworms being above 45 degrees latitude in the first place.
I still think that the whole issue with crazy worms is, more or less, that they can do the exact same damage the non crazy worms can do, just a little more effectively, and so it’s sort of a side issue as you were saying. I think there’s a certain confusion between “invasive worms” meaning one or the other. But IDK, I am not a worm expert, I just learned this stuff today.
OPs article actually backs up most of that…

I was responding to the guy talking about crazy asian worms
