Effects of Avermectins on the Environment Based on Its Toxicity to Plants and Soil Invertebrates-a Review. [PDF]
Water Air Soil Pollut, 2022 Avermectins are pharmaceutical drugs widely used mainly in livestock to combat both ectoparasites and endoparasites. Drugs belonging to this family include ivermectin, abamectin, doramectin, selamectin, eprinomectin, and emamectin benzoate, and they ...

Soil Invertebrates Generate Microplastics From Polystyrene Foam Debris. [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2022 To fully understand microplastics' impact on soil ecosystems, one must recognize soil organisms as not just passively enduring their negative effects, but potentially contributing to microplastics' formation, distribution, and dynamics in soil.

Improved methods for quantifying soil invertebrates during ecotoxicological tests: Chill comas and anesthetics. [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Soil invertebrate ecotoxicological tests are important when making informed site-management decisions. However, traditional tests are time-consuming and require quantification of high numbers of soil invertebrates burrowed beneath the surface of soil.

Trophic level drives the host microbiome of soil invertebrates at a continental scale. [PDF]
Microbiome, 2021 Increasing our knowledge of soil biodiversity is fundamental to forecast changes in ecosystem functions under global change scenarios. All multicellular organisms are now known to be holobionts, containing large assemblages of microbial species.

The impact of restoration methods for Solidago-invaded land on soil invertebrates. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 The belowground community structure of soil biota depends on plant composition and may be affected by invasive plant species. We hypothesized that the type of land restoration method applied affects the abundance and composition of soil invertebrates ...

Potential for Interspecies Toxicity Estimation in Soil Invertebrates. [PDF]
Toxics, 2021 Interspecies correlation estimation (ICE) models are linear regressions that predict toxicity to a species with few data using a known toxicity value in a surrogate species.
