Abstract
Two domestic earthworm populations used in vermicomposting in different lacalities were collected. The one was from Hongcheon (Kangwon province) and the other was from Youngdong (Chungcheong province). Reproductive capacities and the degree of reproductive isolation of two population were investigated. CO I gene sequences were also compared. There was no difference in their reproductive capacities. And there was no reproductive isolation between two populations. Two populations were identified as Eisenia andrei or Eisenia fetida by CO I gene biomarkers. Phylogenetic tree formulated by CO I gene sequence strongly suggested that two populations were just the same species.
