Adverse effects of the pesticide chlorpyrifos on the physiology of a damselfly only occur at the cold and hot extremes of a temperature gradient

J Verheyen, K Cuypers, R Stoks - Environmental Pollution, 2023 - Elsevier
Ecotoxicological studies considerably improved realism by assessing the toxicity of
pollutants at different temperatures. Nevertheless, they may miss key interaction patterns …

Thermal performance curves in a polluted world: too cold and too hot temperatures synergistically increase pesticide toxicity

J Verheyen, R Stoks - Environmental Science & Technology, 2023 - ACS Publications
Ecotoxicological studies typically cover only a limited part of the natural thermal range of
populations and ignore daily temperature fluctuations (DTFs). Therefore, we may miss …

Current and future daily temperature fluctuations make a pesticide more toxic: Contrasting effects on life history and physiology

J Verheyen, R Stoks - Environmental Pollution, 2019 - Elsevier
There is increasing concern that climate change may make organisms more sensitive to
chemical pollution. Many pesticides are indeed more toxic at higher mean temperatures …

Combined effects of larval exposure to a heat wave and chlorpyrifos in northern and southern populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans

H Arambourou, R Stoks - Chemosphere, 2015 - Elsevier
Heat waves are generally associated with an increased energy consumption and could thus
increase the vulnerability to subsequent pesticide exposure. We investigated the combined …

Negative effects of pesticides under global warming can be counteracted by a higher degradation rate and thermal adaptation

L Op de Beeck, J Verheyen, K Olsen… - Journal of Applied …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
An alarming finding for biodiversity is that global warming and pesticides often interact
synergistically. Yet, this synergism may not capture the full picture because two …

Integrating both interaction pathways between warming and pesticide exposure on upper thermal tolerance in high-and low-latitude populations of an aquatic insect

LO de Beeck, J Verheyen, R Stoks - Environmental Pollution, 2017 - Elsevier
Global warming and chemical pollution are key anthropogenic stressors with the potential to
interact. While warming can change the impact of pollutants and pollutants can change the …

Negative bioenergetic responses to pesticides in damselfly larvae are more likely when it is hotter and when temperatures fluctuate

J Verheyen, R Stoks - Chemosphere, 2020 - Elsevier
To make more realistic predictions about the current and future effects of pesticides, we
need to better understand physiological mechanisms associated with the widespread higher …

Competition magnifies the impact of a pesticide in a warming world by reducing heat tolerance and increasing autotomy

LO de Beeck, J Verheyen, R Stoks - Environmental Pollution, 2018 - Elsevier
There is increasing concern that standard laboratory toxicity tests may be misleading when
assessing the impact of toxicants, because they lack ecological realism. Both warming and …

Higher mean and fluctuating temperatures jointly determine the impact of the pesticide chlorpyrifos on the growth rate and leaf consumption of a freshwater isopod

C Theys, J Verheyen, N Tüzün, R Stoks - Chemosphere, 2021 - Elsevier
There is growing evidence that both increases in mean temperature and the widespread
daily temperature fluctuations (DTF) may increase pesticide toxicity. Nevertheless, the likely …

Warmer winters modulate life history and energy storage but do not affect sensitivity to a widespread pesticide in an aquatic insect

H Arambourou, R Stoks - Aquatic Toxicology, 2015 - Elsevier
Despite the increased attention for the effects of pesticides under global warming no studies
tested how winter warming affects subsequent sensitivity to pesticides. Winter warming is …
