“Don’t forget me”: aquatic insects, a disregarded taxonomic class in the assessment of fungicide toxicity in detritivorous invertebrates
In this post, Marco Konschak writes about their recently published paper “Waterborne and diet-related effects of inorganic and organic fungicides on the insect leaf shredder Chaetopteryx villosa (Trichoptera)”.
Continue readingSurprisingly, systemic fungicide treatment enhances litter quality for aquatic detritivores
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “The evil within? Systemic fungicide application in trees enhances litter quality for an aquatic decomposer-detritivore system”.
European Commission Journal features our neonicotinoid paper
The European Commission Journal “Science for Environmental Policy” is reporting on our published paper “Does waterborne exposure explain effects caused by neonicotinoid-contaminated plant material in aquatic systems?”.
About sun, water and toxic leaves…
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “UV-irradiation and leaching in water reduce the toxicity of imidacloprid-contaminated leaves for the aquatic leaf-shredding amphipod Gammarus fossarum“.
Waterborne or dietary neonicotinoid expsoure – is there a lesser of two evils?
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “Relative importance of dietary uptake and waterborne exposure for a leaf-shredding amphipod exposed to thiacloprid-contaminated leaves”.
At the pulse of time: transient effects may obscure biological effect monitoring
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “Transient effects following peak exposures towards pesticides – an explanation for the unresponsiveness of in situ measured functional variables”.
Stress exposure history determines response to new stressor
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “History matters: pre-exposure to wastewater enhances pesticide toxicity in invertebrates”.
Population-level fungicide effects assessed in the Laboratory Stream Microcosm Facility
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “Long-term effects of fungicides on leaf-associated microorganisms and shredder populations – an artificial stream study”.
Two sides of a leaf
