Year in Review – Part 2
In the second installment of the ‘Year in Review’ series, we give our readers a glimpse of 3 most visited posts in the year 2021.
Continue readingMSc thesis in Ecotoxicology at Bayer Crop Sciences
The University of Koblenz-Landau and Bayer Crop Sciences in Monheim jointly offer a MSc thesis in “Investigating the mechanistic basis for species specific sensitivity towards insecticides”.
Continue readingWater Quality in European Surface Waters – A Risky Situation (Part 2)
Jakob Wolfram talks about how water quality in Europe changed over time for different species groups and identifies the actors responsible for the deteriorated water quality. His research on “Water Quality and Ecological Risks in European Surface Waters – Monitoring Improves While Water Quality Decreases” is published in Environment International.
Continue readingWater Quality in European Surface Waters – Finding stories in big data (Part 1)
Jakob Wolfram talks about analyzing a large monitoring dataset to understand how water quality in Europe changed over time, how these trends affect different species groups, and which factors contribute to deteriorated water quality. His research on “Water Quality and Ecological Risks in European Surface Waters – Monitoring Improves While Water Quality Decreases” is published in Environment International.
Continue readingAbout 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”.
A short pulse with long-lasting effects
In this post, Matthias Wieczorek talks about their recently published paper “Structural and functional effects of a short-term pyrethroid pulse exposure on invertebrates in outdoor stream mesocosms”.
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”.
