In-Burrow Behavior of Earthworms

Abstract

Several classes of earthworm behavior were studied in a three-dimensional, semi-natural habitat. Descriptions of burrowing, foraging, feeding, and mating behavior were obtained. In addition, the worms were exposed to light, air, and vibratory stimulation while in their burrows. Light and intermittent vibration consistently elicited responses while air was an ineffective stimulus.
