| Eisenoides lonnbergi is a species of earthworm native to North America that bioaccumulates a high amount of lead in its body from soil it consumes. This is anomalous as lead is usually immobile in soil and doesn't bioaccumulates up trophic levels compared to the amount of [[bioaccumulation]] seen in ''E. lonnbergi'' the general rule is that lead concentration in plants and animals is usually lower than in the soil this is why this species is such an outlier. This might be due to the low calcium high acidity, in the soils at the collection sites in the Maryland Patuxent Wildlife Refuge area where the worms lived.

It is threatened by the [[Invasive earthworms of North America|invasive Earthworms]] in areas that aren't as acidic. The loss of wetlands in the northeast is also an example of habitat loss effecting their range. Including the wetlands of Upstate New York. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=McCay |first=Timothy S. |last2=Pinder |first2=Rebecca A. |last3=Alvarado |first3=Eric |last4=Hanson |first4=Watson C. |date=September 2017 |title=Distribution and Habitat of the Endemic Earthworm Eisenoides lonnbergi (Michaelsen) in the Northeastern United States |url=https://bioone.org/journals/northea...onnbergi-Michaelsen/10.1656/045.024.0302.full |journal=Northeastern Naturalist |volume=24 |issue=3 |pages=239–248 |doi=10.1656/045.024.0302 |issn=1092-6194}}</ref> | Eisenoides lonnbergi is a species of earthworm native to North America that bioaccumulates a high amount of lead in its body from soil it consumes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://setac.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/etc.4031|title=Anomalous bioaccumulation of lead in the earthworm Eisenoides lonnbergi (Michaelsen)|author1=Beyer W.N|author2=Codling E.E|author3=Rutzke M.A|accessdate=2024-05-05|date=2017-11-07|publisher=[[Wiley (publisher)|Wiley]]}}</ref> This is anomalous as lead is usually immobile in soil and doesn't bioaccumulates up trophic levels compared to the amount of [[bioaccumulation]] seen in ''E. lonnbergi'' the general rule is that lead concentration in plants and animals is usually lower than in the soil this is why this species is such an outlier.
