Toxicity of Pine Monoterpenes to Mountain Pine Beetle

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThe mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae; MPB) is an eruptive bark beetle species affecting pine forests of western North America. MPB are exposed to volatile monoterpenes, which are important host defense chemicals. We assessed the toxicity of the ten most abundant monoterpenes of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), a major host in the ...

Physio-biochemical, metabolic nitrogen excretion and ion-regulatory assessment in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) following exposure to high environmental iron

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Iron overload is a significant water quality issue in many parts of the world. Therefore, we evaluated the potential toxic effects of waterborne elevated iron on largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), a highly valued sport and aquaculture fish species.
