Behavioral Response of Invertebrates to Experimental Simulation of Pre-Seismic Chemical Changes

摘要

Simple SummaryWe exposed two invertebrates to hydrogen peroxide to mimic some of the conditions that occur before large earthquakes. Water fleas changed their position in an aquarium to avoid the hydrogen peroxide but earthworms appeared not to be affected and did not change position. We discuss this in the context of unusual animal behavior often seen before earthquakes.
