TL;DR: The test method using larval survival and development is easy to perform and nonlaborious compared to, for example, a reproduction test with Daphnia magna, and the acute test method as well as the egg–embryo test method may be suitable for standardization.

TL;DR: An overview on the endocrine system of crustaceans with special emphasis on development and reproduction, which are targets for endocrine disruption, is given, and available methods for detecting effects onDevelopment and reproduction in calanoid and harpacticoid copepods are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a general discussion of the problem of analyzing data from microbial toxicity tests and give some examples of feasible methods, including nonlinear regression and weighted linear regression.

TL;DR: It is suggested that induction of male sex in neonates by a juvenile hormone analog is universal among genetically different strains and may obscure the incidence of male neonates production in the 21-day reproduction tests due to the low statistical power.

TL;DR: The marine copepod Acartia tonsa and the food organism Rhodomonas salina were cultured in fully defined medium for 8 months without problems and the defined medium may be used for cultivation and testing, thus avoiding unknown background contaminants.
