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 …

Increased daily temperature fluctuations overrule the ability of gradual thermal evolution to offset the increased pesticide toxicity under global warming

J Verheyen, V Delnat, R Stoks - Environmental Science & …, 2019 - ACS Publications
The widespread evidence that global warming can increase species sensitivities to chemical
toxicants, and vice versa, and the recent insight that thermal evolution may mitigate these …

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 …

Sequential exposure to low levels of pesticides and temperature stress increase toxicological sensitivity of crustaceans

R Russo, JM Becker, M Liess - Science of the Total Environment, 2018 - Elsevier

environmentally safe indicate that the current risk assessment framework for registration of …

Daily temperature variation magnifies the toxicity of a mixture consisting of a chemical pesticide and a biopesticide in a vector mosquito

V Delnat, TT Tran, L Janssens, R Stoks - Science of the Total Environment, 2019 - Elsevier
While many studies on the toxicity of pesticides looked at the effects of a higher mean
temperature, effects of the realistic scenario of daily temperature variation are understudied …
