Abstract Background Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, non-selective systemic herbicide with commonly assumed low potential for accumulation in biota. Nevertheless, glyphosate has been shown to bioaccumulate the tissues of several organisms. To understand bioconcentration dynamics fish, brown trout ( Salmo trutta forma fario ) different age were exposed concentrations glyphosate, formulation Roundup® LB Plus, and major transformation product aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) two, three, or four...
Whether microplastics themselves or their interactions with chemicals influence the health and development of aquatic organisms has become a matter scientific discussion. In environments, several groups are abundant in parallel to microplastics. The tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline is frequently prescribed, residues it regularly found surface waters. present study, irregularly shaped polystyrene (<50 µm), amitriptyline, mixture on early life-stages brown trout were investigated....
Abstract Background There has been a rising interest within the scientific community and public about environmental risk related to abundance of microplastics in aquatic environments. Up now, however, knowledge this context scarce insufficient for reliable assessment. To remedy scarcity data, we investigated possible adverse effects polystyrene particles (10 4 particles/L) pesticide methiocarb (1 mg/L) juvenile brown trout ( Salmo trutta f. fario ) both by themselves as well combination...
The project focuses on the efficiency of combined technologies to reduce release micropollutants and bacteria into surface waters via sewage treatment plants different size stormwater overflow basins types. As a model river in highly populated catchment area, Schussen and, as control, Argen, two tributaries Lake Constance, Southern Germany, are under investigation this project. cleaning is monitored by wide range exposure effect analyses including chemical microbiological techniques well...
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP), which contribute significantly to microplastic emission, are receiving more attention, but details about particle composition, translocation from source sink, particularly the possible effects on ecosystems largely unknown. We examined influence of native TRWP-containing sediments two settling ponds mortality behavior aquatic larvae Chironomus riparius. Both sediments, whether pure or mixed with different proportions quartz sand suspended in water, led...
The Mediterranean snail Xeropicta derbentina (Pulmonata, Hygromiidae), being highly abundant in Southern France, has the need for efficient physiological adaptations to desiccation and over-heating posed by dry hot environmental conditions. As a consequence of heat, oxidative stress manifests these organisms, which, turn, leads formation reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we focused on at biochemical level investigation antioxidant defences heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) induction,...
The shell colour of many pulmonate land snail species is highly diverse. Besides a genetic basis, environmentally triggered epigenetic mechanisms including stress proteins as evolutionary capacitors are thought to influence such phenotypic diversity. In this study, we investigated the relationship protein (Hsp70) levels with temperature tolerance, population structure and diversity within among different populations xerophilic Mediterranean (Xeropicta derbentina). Hsp70 varied considerably...
Pharmaceuticals such as antidepressants are designed to be bioactive at low concentrations. According their mode of action, they can also influence non-target organisms due the phylogenetic conservation molecular targets. In addition pollution by environmental chemicals, topic microplastics (MP) in aquatic environment came into focus scientific and public interest. The aim present study was investigate antidepressant amitriptyline presence absence irregularly shaped polystyrene MP well...
Abstract Coloration of animals is important for camouflage, social behavior, or physiological fitness. This study investigates the color variation in adults Aglais urticae obtained on subjecting some pre‐imaginal stages to different temperature conditions and their thermobiological consequences. To investigate evolutionary–ecological interactions pigmentation butterflies, caterpillars, pupae small tortoiseshell, (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae), larvae from Central Europe Scandinavia were reared...
As there is still little knowledge of interactions between microplastics (MP) and hydrophilic compounds, we propose ways the toxicity pesticides can be modulated by MP, when sorption excluded. Larvae Chironomus riparius were exposed to thiacloprid (TH, 1 µg/L) polystyrene microplastic particles (PS; <50 µm; 150,000 1,000,000 particles/L) for 96 h, solely or in co-exposure. Burrowing behavior mortality observed. treatments containing PS established themselves quicker sediment kept ability...
Abstract Background During the last decade, there has been rising interest of scientific community and public in environmental risk related to abundance microplastics aquatic environments. Besides potential effects particles themselves, also their interaction with organic micropollutants is particular concern. Up now, however, knowledge this context scarce insufficient for a reliable assessment. This especially true data on freshwater ecosystems.Results Against background shortage, we...
