Breeding near a landfill may influence blood metals (Cd, Pb, Hg, Fe, Zn) and metalloids (Se, As) in white stork (Ciconia ciconia) nestlingsEcotoxicology - Tập 23 - Trang 1377-1386 - 2014

Cadmium, lead, mercury, selenium, iron, zinc and arsenic levels were measured in
blood samples from 59 free-ranging white stork nestlings from colonies located
in three different environmental conditions in Western Spain. The reference
colony was situated in “Llanos de Cáceres y Sierra de Fuentes”, an Area of
Special Interest for Bird Protection. A second colony was located close to
(4.9 km) an ur... hiện toàn bộ
Source and trophic transfer of mercury in plankton from an ultraoligotrophic lacustrine system (Lake Nahuel Huapi, North Patagonia)Ecotoxicology - Tập 23 - Trang 1184-1194 - 2014
Andrea Rizzo, Marina Arcagni, Linda Campbell, Neža Koron, Majda Pavlin, María A. Arribére, Milena Horvat, Sergio Ribeiro Guevara
The incorporation and trophic transfer of total and methyl mercury (THg, MeHg)
were examined in three size classes of plankton (10–53, 53–200, and >200 μm size
range) and a small planktivorous fish, Galaxias maculatus, from the large
multi-branched Lake Nahuel Huapi (North Patagonia, Argentina). Three sites
representing a large range of lake benthic–pelagic structures (based on depth
and shoreline... hiện toàn bộ
Individual and combined toxic effects of herbicide atrazine and three insecticides on the earthworm, Eisenia fetidaEcotoxicology - Tập 25 - Trang 991-999 - 2016
Yanhua Wang, Xuehua An, Weifeng Shen, Liezhong Chen, Jinhua Jiang, Qiang Wang, Leiming Cai
In the present study, we evaluated the individual and combined toxic effects of
herbicide atrazine and three insecticides (chlorpyrifos, lambda-cyhalothrin and
imidacloprid) on the earthworm, Eisenia fetida. Results from 48-h filter paper
test indicated that imidacloprid had the highest toxicity to E. fetida with an
LC50 of 0.05 (0.041–0.058) μg a.i. cm−2, followed by lambda-cyhalothrin and

Application of a novel method PCR-ligase detection reaction for tracking predator—prey trophic links in insect-resistant GM rice ecosystemEcotoxicology - Tập 20 - Trang 2090-2100 - 2011
Kai Li, Junce Tian, Qinxi Wang, Qiang Chen, Mao Chen, Huan Wang, Yuxun Zhou, Yufa Peng, Junhua Xiao, Gongyin Ye
Insect-resistant genetically modified (IRGM) rice is on the verge of commercial
release in China, however, its potential non-target effect on non-target insect
natural enemies remains controversial. Tracking trophic interactions between
predators and preys in IRGM rice ecosystem can provide new insights into better
understanding of the ecological risks of IRGM rice. In the present study, a
novel m... hiện toàn bộ
Microbial availability of mercury: effective detection and organic ligand effect using a whole-cell bioluminescent bioreporterEcotoxicology - Tập 24 - Trang 2200-2206 - 2015
Xianghua Xu, Kathryn Oliff, Tingting Xu, Steven Ripp, Gary Sayler, Jie Zhuang
A luxCDABE-based genetically engineered bacterial bioreporter (Escherichia coli
ARL1) was used to detect bioavailable ionic mercury (Hg(II)) and investigate the
effects of humic acids and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the
bioavailability of mercury in E. c oli. Results showed that the E. c oli ARL1
bioreporter was sensitive to mercury, with a detection limit of Hg(II) of
0.5 µg/L and a... hiện toàn bộ
Toxicity of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) toward embryonic stages of mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus)Ecotoxicology - Tập 31 - Trang 1057-1067 - 2022
Kiflom Y. Gebreab, Daniel Benetti, Martin Grosell, John D. Stieglitz, J. P. Berry
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent organic pollutants that
have been detected in a wide array of environmental matrices and, in turn,
diverse biota including humans and wildlife wherein they have been associated
with a multitude of toxic, and otherwise adverse effects, including ecosystem
impacts. In the present study, we developed a toxicity assay for embryonic
stages of mahi-... hiện toàn bộ
An environmental forensic approach for tropical estuaries based on metal bioaccumulation in tissues of Callinectes danaeEcotoxicology - Tập 25 - Trang 91-104 - 2015

The blue crab Callinectes danae is distributed throughout the Atlantic coast and
this study aimed to evaluate a environmental forensics approach that could be
applied at tropical estuarine systems where this species is distributed, based
on the metal concentrations in its tissues. For this purpose, blue crab samples
were collected in 9 sites (distributed in 3 areas) along the Santos Estuarine
