Bioavailability of pesticides in freshwater sediments [PDF]
In ecological risk assessment standardized sediment toxicity tests are used to predict the hazard of chemicals for sediment-living organisms. Feeding is a prerequisite in these long-term tests to avoid starvation of test organisms.

Long-lasting cross-protection against influenza A by neuraminidase and M2e-based immunization strategies [PDF]
There is mounting evidence that in the absence of neutralizing antibodies cross-reactive T cells provide protection against pandemic influenza viruses. Here, we compared protection and CD8+ T cell responses following challenge with H1N1 2009 pandemic and

Predictors and immunological correlates of sublethal mercury exposure in vampire bats [PDF]
Mercury (Hg) is a pervasive heavy metal that often enters the environment from anthropogenic sources such as gold mining and agriculture. Chronic exposure to Hg can impair immune function, reducing the ability of animals to resist or recover from ...

Effect of Sublethal and Lethal Temperature on Plant Cells [PDF]
Soybean, Glycine max L., and elodea, Elodea canadensis Michx, leaves were exposed to sublethal and lethal temperatures and examined by light microscopy. Loss of chlorophyll and swollen chloroplasts were observed in cells of elodea leaves exposed to sublethal temperatures.

Assessing Individual and Population-Level Effects of Anticoagulant Rodenticides on Wildlife
Anticoagulant rodenticides have been detected in many species of wildlife worldwide. However, the origins, exposure pathways, and effects of this exposure are not well understood.

A long-term copper exposure on freshwater ecosystem using lotic mesocosms: Individual and population responses of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) [PDF]
Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) was used as the highest trophic level predator in an outdoor mesocosm study assessing the effect of environmentally realistic copper concentration (0, 5, 25 and 75 μg L−1) over 18 months of continuous ...

Pesticides and Arthropods: Sublethal Effects and Demographic Toxicology [PDF]
Insecticides and acaricides designed to control primary harmful insects and mites may also variously affect some other arthopods present in an (agro)ecosystem (e.g. secondary pests, predators, parasitoids, saprophytes, bioindicators, pollinators).
