The Newsletter on Enchytraeidae is a series of proceedings, which from issue Nº 4 on present the scientific output of the International Symposia on Enchytraeidae, held every two years from 1994 on. Each issue is traditionally edited by the organizers of the respective conference. The 9th International Symposium on Enchytraeidae was held at the Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institute (vTI) in Braunschweig, Germany, 14 to 16 July, 2010. In total, twenty participants from eight countries attended the symposium. During the first two days, nine oral and seven poster presentations were given and discussed. Afterwards, a microscopic workshop provided the opportunity for the participants to study interesting or unfamiliar specimens of enchytraeids, using and testing the new identification key on European enchytraeid species, and to discuss open questions in enchytraeid taxonomy. This workshop was supervised by Rüdiger M. Schmelz.
The present Newsletter on Enchytraeidae No. 12 includes most of the scientific contributions that were presented at the 9th International Symposium on Enchytraeidae. These papers cover a wide range of basic and applied research on terrestrial enchytraeids, and they contribute valuable information to the knowledge of soil biodiversity. Additionally, this volume contains a list of currently accepted enchytraeid species, compiled by R.M. Schmelz and R. Collado. All papers included in this volume have been critically evaluated by two reviewers. We acknowledge the effort of all authors and reviewers to make these proceedings possible.
