Water temperature governs organophosphate ester dynamics in the aquatic food chain of Poyang Lake

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Ecotechnology
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are increasingly recognized as pervasive environmental contaminants, primarily from their extensive application in flame retardants and plasticizers.

Bridging the Gap Between Human Toxicology and Ecotoxicology Under One Health Perspective by a Cross‐Species Adverse Outcome Pathway Network for Reproductive Toxicity

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Cross‐species extrapolation of adverse outcome pathway network on reproductive toxicity under the One Health perspective using new approach methodologies. AOP = adverse outcome pathway. Abstract Although ecotoxicological and toxicological risk assessments are performed separately from each other, recent efforts have been made in both disciplines to ...

Delineating Sources and Estimating Cadmium Bioaccumulation and Susceptibility Differences among Aquatic Insects.

open access: yes, 2007
Human activities such as mining and smelting have altered the distribution of trace metals in the environment, resulting in trace metal pollution of aquatic ecosystems worldwide.

The response of perennial and temporary headwater stream invertebrate communities to hydrological extremes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The headwaters of karst rivers experience considerable hydrological variability, including spates and streambed drying. Extreme summer flooding on the River Lathkill (Derbyshire, UK) provided the opportunity to examine the invertebrate community response

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

The citizen science project “AmphiBiom”: a quest to mitigate habitat loss for the European green toad [PDF]

open access: yesARPHA Proceedings
We aim to understand the distribution and environmental drivers for the occurrence of the European green toad (Bufotes viridis) in Austria and create breeding habitats for it.

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

50 years of invertebrate conservation under the United States Endangered Species Act—history and threats to species

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science
IntroductionThe United States Endangered Species Act celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023. As a hallmark piece of environmental legislation, the Act has successfully prevented the extinction of hundreds of species.

Trace Metals in Aquatic Invertebrates

open access: yes, 2011
This chapter addresses the interpretation of accumulated trace metal concentrations in one component of the biota—in this case aquatic invertebrates. Aquatic invertebrates represent key members of the biota of habitats particularly at risk from toxic metal contamination, such as fresh-waters and estuaries receiving metal-laden effluents from mining ...
