Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0002560	burrowing in response to high population density increased	Greater quantities of worms burrow into and stay below the surface of the agar when high densities of nematodes are maintained on agar compared to controls (Hodgkin and Doniach, 1997).
WBPhenotype:0002587	Pluronic gel burrowing impaired	Animals are impaired in their burrowing ability compared to control animals in a Pluronic gel-based burrowing assay.
WBPhenotype:0002516	burrowing assay distance abnormal	Animals exhibit variations, compared to control, in the distance traveled in a burrowing assay, in which animals are placed in a tube, separated from an attractant by solid medium through which the worms can burrow. Variations in distance traveled during the burrowing assay, when controlled for chemosensation defects, have been suggested to reflect variations in neuromuscular efficacy of locomotion.
