Not my field (pun?), but for published science on the topic try Carl
UnCover's free search web page. http://uncweb.carl.org/ [You don't need
to sign up - just find the 'search uncover now button' at the top on the page
which opens from the 'search uncover' link on the home page].
I got five hits for the simple search "earthworm* and pesticide"
Probably the literature cited of one or two of those papers would give
further leads.
If perchance someone gave rather better advice than that off-list perhaps
they could also post it to the list. Thanks.
Cheers,
