A plea for the use of copepods in freshwater ecotoxicology
, 2022 S.75-85Standard species used in ecological risk assessment are chosen based on their sensitivity to various toxicants and the ease of rearing them for laboratory experiments.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems poses substantial risks to freshwater organisms, with mixture effects often deviating from predictions based on single‐metal toxicity. Understanding how age‐specific sensitivities and multiple exposure pathways influence mixture effects is critical for accurate risk assessment.

Preliminary evaluation on the use of homing pigeons as a biomonitor in urban areas
, 2010 This study evaluates the usefulness of homing pigeons as a biomonitor of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban environments. The mean concentrations of total PAHs in liver and lung tissues were greater in pigeons from Beijing compared to ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As top predators, terrestrial carnivores face great risk of pesticide exposure and serve as sentinels of environmental contamination. Additionally, terrestrial carnivores are frequently threatened by intentional or secondary poisoning with highly toxic compounds, such as carbamates and organophosphates.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Shared leadership can promote success in collaborative research networks in ecology
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While collaborative science is becoming the norm in ecology, many ecologists participating in collaborations are less aware of the body of research that studies the processes by which collaborative teams organize and communicate.
