Assessment of short and long-term effects of imidacloprid on the burrowing behaviour of two earthworm species ( Aporrectodea caliginosa and Lumbricus terrestris) by using 2D and 3D post-exposure techniques

► Imidacloprid caused long- and short-term effects on earthworm burrowing behaviour. ► Many effects were detected at concentrations occurring in agricultural soils. ► Burrow depth and burrow length proved to be relevant and sensitive endpoints. ► By doing post-exposure observations, effective burrow...
