Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) enter aquatic ecosystems through discharged
effluents, mainly from wastewater treatment works and diffuse run off from land, and affect a …

Fish behavior can be altered by contaminants. There is an extensive literature on laboratory
behavioral assays, with many chemicals impairing feeding or predator avoidance. However …

Interest in behavioural ecotoxicology is growing, partly due to technological and
computational advances in recording behaviours but also because of improvements of …

Microplastics (MPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals are ubiquitous pollutants in marine
environments, but their combined ecological risk is unclear. This study exposed male marine …

In the last 10 years, behavior assessment has been developed as an indicator of
neurotoxicity and an integrated indicator of physiological disruption. Polycyclic aromatic …

The main component of classical contraceptives, 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), has high
estrogenic activity even at environmentally relevant concentrations. Although estrogenic …

Environmental contamination with substances that exert an adverse influence on the
endocrine system of living organisms has been posing a growing concern in recent years …

Nests are built by a wide variety of animals as functional receptacles for developing eggs
and offspring, and they play a critical role in the reproductive biology of many species …

The objective of this study was to investigate the endocrine disrupting effects of domestic
wastewater on fish using the brackish medaka Oryzias melastigma as the animal model …

The release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the environment has increased
very substantially over the last decades leading to high concentrations in sediments of …
