Climatic variables like humidity and temperature have been shown to affect the toxic effect of
some chemicals. Temperature especially has a direct effect on the toxicity of metals and …

Twenty-four hour median lethal concentration (LC50) toxicity tests were performed with five
species of nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans, Caenorhabditis briggsae, Pristionchus …

To determine the effects of temperature alterations on copper toxicity and stress response in
Caenorhabditis elegans, an aquatic acute toxicity test was utilized to combinations of four …

Toxicity tests in invertebrates often use sublethal endpoints, which may exhibit different
sensitivity for various toxicants. Our objective was to characterize the sensitivity of …

A wealth of studies has investigated how chemical sensitivity is affected by temperature,
however, almost always under different constant rather than more realistic fluctuating …

Caenorhabditis elegans increasingly is attractive as a toxicity test organism, particularly as a
model system to study mechanisms of toxicity at a molecular level and the way that these …

Typically, a wide variety of chemicals are found concurrently in the environment, which
makes identifying the contribution of individual toxicants difficult. For the purposes of this …

The acute toxicities of heavy metals and detergents have been well examined with respect
to several endpoints, such as mortality, for application to toxicity tests for environmental …
