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

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

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 atrazi...... hiện toàn bộ
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

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
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 Syst...... hiện toàn bộ
