Does anyone have suggestions for anesthetizing earthworms before
dissecting? My biology classes put the worms in alcohol for 90 seconds
before dissection and are able to see hearts beating and peristalsis
occurring. Any research on pain perception of earthworms, or better
ways to anesthetize the worms? Thanks
