The opening two chapters in this collection, both written by Indian academics in zoology and entomology, review the dynamic role of earthworms in soil systems and the role of soil biota in litter decomposition and nutrient enrichment. Topics of the other seven papers include E.Coli as a microbial indicator of fecal contamination, molecular tools for microbial ecology, the evolutionary ecology of body size, spontaneous pattern formation and diversity, and influenza A viruses spread by wild birds.
