Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The present study aimed to quantify pesticide residues in environmental matrices and plasma and to evaluate their potential effects on oxidative stress and DNA damage in rural populations of Santa Fe province. Soil and rainwater samples were collected, and biological samples and semistructured surveys were obtained from volunteers in three ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Novel parasite introductions are threatening wildlife communities globally. The degree of threat depends on the ecological context, namely host community characteristics and the presence of other parasites. How these two factors interact to shape the outcomes of parasite introductions is not known. We experimentally investigated how infection following

Habitat size changes morphological traits of Physalaemus albonotatus tadpoles
Tropical Zoology, 2019 Desiccation exposes tadpoles to a decrease in habitat size due to a reduction in water depth and surface area. We tested the effect of surface area and water depth on growth and development of tadpoles of Physalaemus albonotatus and whether habitat size

The 5T Paradox of Triclosan: From Toiletries to Toxic Trash, a Growing Threat to Humanity
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) persists as a contaminant of concern in the Anthropocene, despite regulatory actions. Environmental dissemination continues through wastewater effluents, biosolid application, and improper disposal practices. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence regarding triclosan's environmental fate, transformation pathways ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are found ubiquitously in the environment and exposure to these chemicals has induced behavioral, developmental, and morphological impairments in several model organisms. Yet there is still a lack of understanding of how sub‐lethal exposure disrupts organism function at the molecular‐level, especially for Daphnia ...

Effects of Density and Food Availability on the Growth of Captive‐Reared Eastern Hellbenders
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Our experiments demonstrate that food is the major factor limiting captive‐reared Hellbender growth and that increasing rearing density to the tested levels does not negatively impact growth. Implementing these changes may result in larger, more robust Hellbenders and increase the success of reintroduction programs.

Bottom‐up effects of fungicides on tadpoles of the European common frog (Rana temporaria)
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Biodiversity is under pressure worldwide, with amphibians being particularly threatened. Stressors related to human activity, such as chemicals, are contributing to this decline.
