Interactions between effects of environmental chemicals and natural stressors: A review

TLDR
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.

Wildlife Ecotoxicology of Pesticides: Can We Track Effects to the Population Level and Beyond?

TL;DR: In these times of regional and global species declines, the task of causally linking knowledge about the molecular actions of pesticides to their possible interference with biological processes is challenged in order to develop reliable predictions about the consequences of pesticide use, and misuse, in a rapidly changing world.

Interactions among ecosystem stressors and their importance in conservation.

TL;DR: It is found that synergies are (still) not the most prevalent type of interaction, and that conservation practitioners need to appreciate and manage for all interaction outcomes, including antagonistic and additive effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconceptualizing synergism and antagonism among multiple stressors

TL;DR: The need for reconsideration by the ecological community of the interpretation of synergism and antagonism in situations where individual stressor effects oppose each other or where cumulative effects are reversed and enhanced is emphasized.

Multiple Stressors in a Changing World: The Need for an Improved Perspective on Physiological Responses to the Dynamic Marine Environment

TL;DR: The find that multi-stressor experiments have rarely incorporated naturalistic physicochemical variation into their designs, and the importance of doing so to make ecologically relevant inferences about physiological responses to global change is emphasized.

Metals, toxicity and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent findings in the metal-induced formation of free radicals and the role of oxidative stress in the carcinogenicity and toxicity of metals.

Compensation for a bad start: grow now, pay later?

TL;DR: It is suggested that, although compensatory growth can bring quick benefits, it is also associated with a surprising variety of costs that are often not evident until much later in adult life.

The toxicology of climate change: environmental contaminants in a warming world.

TL;DR: A paramount issue will be to identify species and populations especially vulnerable to climate-pollutant interactions, in the context of the many other physical, chemical, and biological stressors that will be altered with climate change.
