Enchytraeids, commonly known as potworms, are small oligochaetes found worldwide in various terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Despite their crucial role ecosystem functioning, the diversity abundance of Enchytraeidae seldom studied due to labour-intensive process species identification. This study aims address this gap expand knowledge on distribution enchytraeids within Northern Palaearctic Region. The provided dataset represents latest most comprehensive field sampling enchytraeid communities European part Russia Palaearctic. It consists exclusively an original set soil samples systematically collected across region from 2019 2023, without any previously published data included. includes occurrences 204 georeferenced sites, encompassing 73 17 genera, totalling 61,254 records, with 1,419 records having "present'' occurrence status. comprehensive, species-specific (Darwin Core Archive - DwC-A) provides insights into terrestrial a wide geographic area, covering eastern sector East Plain North Caucasus Region Compiled campaigns, is essential for exploring understanding local regional over time space. also serves valuable resource monitoring conserving biodiversity region.

To assess the impact of Enchytraeidae (potworms) on functioning decomposer system, knowledge feeding preferences enchytraeid species is required. Different food can be explained by variations in enzymatic activities among different species, as there are no significant differences morphology or anatomy their alimentary tracts. However, it crucial to distinguish between contribution microbial enzymes and animal’s digestive capacity. Here, we computationally analyzed endogenous enzyme genes Enchytraeus albidus. The analysis was based RNA-Seq COI-monohaplotype culture (PL-A strain) specimens, utilizing transcriptome profiling determine trophic position species. We also corroborated results obtained using transcriptomics data from genetically heterogeneous freeze-tolerant strains. Our revealed that E. albidus expresses a wide range glycosidases, including GH9 cellulases specific SH3b-domain-containing i-type lysozyme, previously described earthworm Eisenia andrei. Therefore, combines traits both primary decomposers (primary saprophytophages) secondary (sapro-microphytophages/microbivores) defined an intermediate decomposer. Based assemblies publicly available reads, found close homologs for these lysozymes various clitellate taxa, Crassiclitellata Enchytraeidae.
