TL;DR: An evaluation of stressors covering heat, cold, desiccation, oxygen depletion, pathogens and immunomodulatory factors combined with a variety of environmental pollutants revealed that synergistic interactions between the effects of various natural stressors and toxicants are not uncommon phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macroinvertebrate response to acid mine drainage: community metrics and on-line behavioural toxicity bioassay.
TL;DR: It is tested that toxicity of acid mine drainage can be detected by a selection of existing macroinvertebrate community and bioindicator metrices supplemented by toxicity tests with the local mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki Girard and the shrimp Atyaephyra desmaresti Millet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioural and developmental toxicity of chlorpyrifos and nickel chloride to zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos and larvae.
TL;DR: Compared to developmental or survival parameters, behaviour was the most sensitive endpoint for CHP exposure in this study; therefore it is recommended that this parameter be recommended to complement already established endpoints.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Online Biomonitoring System for Gammarus pulex (L.) (Crustacea): In Situ Test Below a Copper Effluent in South Sweden
TL;DR: A new online biomonitors based on a quadropole impedance conversion technique that records simultaneously several behavioral parameters of Gammarus pulex, a new biomonitoring test species, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The early warning of aquatic organophosphorus pesticide contamination by on-line monitoring behavioral changes of Daphnia magna.
TL;DR: The intensive changes in behavior strength of Daphnia magna over a short time follow the SSM concept and can be used as an indicator of early stress response to OP accidental contamination.
