Intestinal infolding was less extensive in the Diplocardia than in the Lumbricidae, but species of both groups that feed below ground had the greatest development of dorsal infolding of the intestine. The Diplocardia species present in North American prairie included one topsoil-surface feeding species and four species that feed below ground on unrecognizable organic matter, with infrequent root and leaf fragments</p>10atallgrass prairie1 aJames, S.W.1 aCunningham, M.R.  uhttp://129.130.186.12/content/feeding-ecology-some-earthworms-kansas-tallgrass-prairie
