Common insecticide disrupts aquatic communities: a mesocosm-to-field ecological risk assessment of fipronil and its degradates in US streams
Insecticides in streams are increasingly a global concern, yet information on safe
concentrations for aquatic ecosystems is sparse. In a 30-day mesocosm experiment …
