Abstract:
... Following a decade of research on the environmental impacts of microplastics, a knowledge gap remains on the processes by which micro and nanoplastics pass across biological barriers, enter cells and are subject to biological mechanisms. Here we summarize available literature on the accumulation of microplastics and their associated contaminants in a variety of organisms including humans. Most dat ...

Abstract:
... Receiving waters from agricultural areas can contain multiple pesticides such as the neonicotinoid imidacloprid and the fungicide tebuconazole, leading to the potential for aquatic life to be exposed to such mixtures. In the present study, the effects of tebuconazole were tested alone and in binary mixtures with imidacloprid on 4 aquatic invertebrates: Chironomus dilutus, Hyalella azteca, Lumbricu ...

Abstract:
... The relatively low availability of toxicity data for indigenous tropical species has often been discussed. In addition, several taxonomic groups of invertebrates are understudied, such as dragonflies and ostracods. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the acute toxicity of four metals (cadmium - Cd, copper - Cu, manganese - Mn, and mercury - Hg) to the tropical dragonfly nymphs o ...

To find the adverse effects induced by cypermethrin, the ecotoxicological model copepods Tigriopus japonicus and Paracyclopina nana were exposed under cypermethrin, which is a widely used type-II pyrethroid insecticide in agriculture. Despite its large-scale application as insecticide in agriculture, little information is available on its adverse effects on aquatic invertebrates. In this study, th ...

Abstract:
... The use of organic Ultraviolet (UV) filters has increased in the last years, either in sunscreens, other cosmetics, or even food packaging. These filters may end up in soil and water since the Wastewater Treatment Plants may not successfully remove them. Among them, benzophenones are known to act as endocrine disruptors. However, most of the studies are directed towards vertebrates and aquatic inv ...

Abstract:
... Neonicotinoid insecticides have been shown to have high chronic toxicity relative to acute toxicity, and therefore short‐term toxicity tests ≤96 h in duration may underestimate their environmental risks. Among nontarget aquatic invertebrates, insects of the orders Diptera and Ephemeroptera have been found to be the most sensitive to neonicotinoids. To undertake a more accurate assessment of the ri ...

Abstract:
... Freshwaters worldwide are affected by multiple stressors. Timing of inputs and pathways of delivery can influence the impact stressors have on freshwater communities. In particular, effects of point versus diffuse nutrient inputs on stream macroinvertebrates are poorly understood. Point-source inputs tend to pose a chronic problem, whereas diffuse inputs tend to be acute with short concentration s ...

Abstract:
... Current climate projections for the Great Plains of North America indicate markedly increased air temperatures by the end of the current century. Because the Great Plains contains >80,000 intermittent wetlands that serve as irreplaceable wildlife habitat, this projected warming may have profound effects throughout a continental-scale trophic network. However, little research has been done to deter ...

Accordingly, the identification of mechanisms that facilitate the uptake of microplastics is essential for the evaluation of possible implications for marine o ...

Abstract:
... Copper (Cu) is an essential trace metal, but may also be toxic to aquatic organisms. Although many studies have investigated the cytotoxicity of Cu, little is known about the in vivo genotoxic potential of Cu in marine invertebrates. We investigated the genotoxicity of Cu in 2 pelagic calanoid copepods, Acartia tonsa and Temora longicornis, and the intertidal harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus brevico ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this research was to assess genotoxicity and cytotoxicity responses in aquatic animals exposed to 50 Hz 1 m T electromagnetic field (EMF). Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at early stages of development were exposed to EMF for 40 days, whereas marine benthic invertebrates – the common ragworm Hediste diversicolor and the Baltic clam Limecola balthica – for 12 days. To define genotoxi ...

Abstract:
... It is often beneficial for animals to discriminate between different threats and to habituate to repeated exposures of benign stimuli. While much is known about risk perception in vertebrates and some invertebrates, risk perception in marine invertebrates is less extensively studied. One method to study risk perception is to habituate animals to a series of exposures to one stimulus, and then pres ...

Abstract:
... One of the main constraints affecting invertebrate diversity in many freshwater lentic habitats is the presence of a dry phase which forces aquatic organisms to avoid this period through the migration to other water bodies or the production of resting stages. Field studies show contradictory results when comparing invertebrate diversity in permanent (PW) and temporary lentic waters (TW). Our objec ...

Guitarrins A–E (1–5), the first natural 5-azaindoles, and aluminumguitarrin A (1a), the first aluminum-containing compound from marine invertebrates, were isolated from the sponge Guitarra fimbriata. The structures of these compounds were established using detailed analysis of 1D and 2D NMR data, mass spectra, and X-ray analysis of 1 and 1a. Compound 3 was proved to be a natural inhibitor of alkal ...

However, community concern regarding an increase in the abundance of mosquitoes that pose risks to public health can severely undermine support for these habitats. Our limited understanding of relationships between wetlands, aquatic biodiversity ...

Abstract:
... The interaction of pollutants and pathogens may result in altered and often enhanced effects of the chemical, the biotic stressor or both. These interaction effects cannot be reliably predicted from the toxicity of the chemical or the virulence of the pathogen alone. While standardized detection methods for immunotoxic effects of chemicals exist with regard to human health, employing host-resistan ...
