Invasive species behaviour in a toxic world

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023
Invasive species and chemical pollution both threaten biodiversity. Here, we discuss how pollution, through its impacts on wildlife behaviour, shapes invasion dynamics by altering species interactions. Addressing knowledge gaps will have implications for the management of invasive species and conservation of native ecosystems in an increasingly toxic ...

Sorption behaviour and toxicity of an herbicide safener “cyprosulfamide”

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Cyprosulfamide is a herbicide safener that works against the injurious effects of herbicides such as isoxaflutole, dicamba, nicosulfuron, tembotrione, thiencarbazone-methyl. However, its sorption behaviour in soils and toxicity to aquatic organisms are yet to be thoroughly examined.

Behavioural Toxicity of Antidepressants With Particular Reference to Moclobemide

Psychopharmacology, 1992
The clinical decision to use a particular antidepressant should be made with reference to the behavioural toxicity profiles of substances in current use. Antidepressants can be cardiotoxic, proconvulsant, able to cause weight gain and sleep disturbance, and also impair psychological functions necessary for everyday living.

Behavioural Toxicity of Antianxiety and Antidepressant Agents

Human Psychopharmacology, 1999
Standard measures of psychomotor speed and central nervous system arousal were used to assess the behavioural toxicity of several antianxiety and antidepressant agents. The results indicate that, for the agents evaluated, there is a wide variation in the effects on cognitive function.

Comparative Behavioural Toxicity of the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

Human Psychopharmacology, 1995
The psychopharmacological profiles of several selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were compared and their behavioural toxicity contrasted both to placebo and the tricyclic antidepressants dothiepin and amitriptyline. On measures of central nervous system arousal (critical flicker fusion), psychomotor speed (choice reaction time), skilled ...

Stripping voltammetric behaviour of toxic drug nitrofurantoin

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009
A simple, sensitive and reproducible squarewave cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetric method has been developed for the determination of nitrofurantoin in solubilized system. The objective of the present paper is to investigate the redox behaviour of nitrofurantoin by using different voltammetric techniques and to establish the methodology for its

Identifying components of type-A behaviour: “toxic” and “non-toxic” achieving

Personality and Individual Differences, 2000
Abstract Measures of the Type-A behaviour pattern (TABP) have generally failed to distinguish between different components of the construct, some of which may not constitute risk factors at all. Based on the responses of a total of 632 subjects, the present paper reports on the development of student and working adult questionnaires which comprise ...

The behavioural toxicity of antidepressants

International Clinical Psychopharmacology, 1998
The cognitive system is structured from sets of schema, patterns of neural activity that allow the assimilation or accommodation of new experiences and so, by a process of consolidation, the gradual development of knowledge and understanding. As well as schema for purely cognitive processes, there are similar structures that enable individuals to deal ...

Measuring the Side Effects of Psychotropics: The Behavioural Toxicity of Antidepressants

Journal of Psychopharmacology, 1992
The psychopharmacological profiles of 15 psychotropic drugs used as antidepressants are reviewed, and their relative behavioural toxicity ratings are compared. The pharmacodynamic activity of these drugs was assessed using a standardized test battery which included critical flicker fusion threshold (CFF), choice reaction time (CRT), tracking and ...
