Two novel bioassays useful for the quick assessment of chemical effects on the behavior of mosquito larvae (Culicidae) and adult earthworms (Lumbricidae) [PDF]
: The behavior, i.e., observable response of an organism can serve as a useful indicator of environmental quality. In the absence of death and other sublethal effects, behavioral changes can represent early warning signs of toxic effects.
