Perceived multiple stressor effects depend on sample size and stressor gradient length

Water Research, 2022
Multiple stressors are continuously deteriorating surface waters worldwide, posing many challenges for their conservation and restoration. Combined effect types of multiple stressors range from single-stressor dominance to complex interactions. Identifying prevalent combined effect types is critical for environmental management, as it helps to ...

Microplastic as a Multiple Stressor

2023
The presence of microplastics (MPs) throughout the world causes a serious threat to the functionality and vigor of the ecosystem, which is present in almost all habitats, such as in aquatic, atmospheric and terrestrial habitats, and is also found in human consumables.

Multiple Stressors and the Functioning of Coral Reefs

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2017
Coral reefs provide critical services to coastal communities, and these services rely on ecosystem functions threatened by stressors. By summarizing the threats to the functioning of reefs from fishing, climate change, and decreasing water quality, we highlight that these stressors have multiple, conflicting effects on functionally similar groups of ...

MULTIPLE STRESSORS AND THE CAUSE OF AMPHIBIAN ABNORMALITIES

Ecology, 2010
The repeated occurrence of abnormal amphibians in nature points to ecological imbalance, yet identifying causes of these abnormalities has proved complex. Multiple studies have linked amphibian abnormalities to chemically contaminated areas, but inference about causal mechanisms is lacking.

Implications for environmental health of multiple stressors

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2009
Recent insights into the mechanisms underlying the biological effects of low dose effects of ionising radiation have revealed that similar mechanisms can be induced by chemical stressors in the environment. This means that interactions between radiation and chemicals are likely and that the outcomes following mixed exposures to radiation and chemicals ...

The physiological effects of multiple stressors

Behavioral Science, 1966
In psychophysiological experimentation a number of studies have investigated the physiological response to a single stimulus or to a series of stimuli differing only in intensity. They have, in general, reported sympathetic-like changes in a wide range of physiological variables to such diverse stimuli as electric shock, loud noise, dynamometer tension,

Multiple stressors

Abstract In a rapidly changing world, animals must respond to multiple stressors that occur either simultaneously or in rapid succession. While more challenging than studying responses to single stressors, directly studying multiple stressors is important because not all effects are additive; multiple stressors can interact in ...

Multiple stressors in freshwater ecosystems

Freshwater Biology, 2010
Summary1. The fundamental importance of freshwater resources, the rapid extinction rate among freshwater species and the pronounced sensitivity of freshwater ecosystems to climate change together signal a pre‐eminent need for renewed scientific focus and greater resources.

Multiple Stressors and Disturbances

2009
Marine communities are increasingly affected by numerous stressors that act as agents of physical and biological disturbance through a combination of natural and human-induced impacts. These include storms, sedimentation, temperature changes, pollution, eutrophication, over-harvesting, damage to habitats, arrival of invasive species and climate change.

A Layperson's Primer on Multiple Stressors

2007
This article introduces the concept of multiple stressors. It has been written for the layperson, in terms that do not require a strong scientific background. It has been written to facilitate scientists' communication with the public and funding agencies about multiple stressors.
