When synthetic, xenobiotic compounds such as agrochemicals and industrial chemicals are
utilized, they eventually reach the soil environment where they are subject to degradation …

Azoxystrobin (AZO) is widely used to prevent and treat fungal diseases in important crops
but can also impact non-target organisms, including mammals, amphibians, aquatic, and …

The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and energy allocation in the freshwater
organism Daphnia magna exposed to carbaryl and potential recovery from the effects was …

Results of life-cycle toxicity experiments are supposed to be indicative for long-term effects
of exposure to toxicants. Several studies, however, have shown that adaptation or extinction …

Chronic exposure of soil animals with insecticides over multiple generations can induce
modifications to their life-history. Moreover, insecticide effects over generations may be …

Effects of the broad-spectrum insecticide fipronil were investigated on a non-target insect
living in the soil, the springtail Folsomia candida Willem. Fipronil induced a significant …

The collembolan, Folsomia candida, is widely used in soil ecotoxicology. In recent years,
growth rate of collembolans has become as frequently used endpoint as reproduction rate in …

Soil organisms have been recommended as bio-indicators of soil quality due to their
sensitivity to anthropogenic influences and their high degree of site-specificity. The …

Xenylla welchi was used to evaluate toxicity of two herbicide formulations, pretilachlor (50
EC) and pendimethalin (30 EC) under laboratory conditions. Twenty four hours LC 50 value …

We use theories of risk allocation to inform trade-offs between foraging in a rich and risky
habitat versus using a poor but safe alternative. Recent advances in the theory predict that …
