DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2019.105292
Abstract: Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that entered the market to replace organochlorides and organophosphates. Fipronil impairs the regular inhibition of nerve impulses that ultimately result in paralysis and death of insects. Because of its use… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.06.102
Abstract: Impacts of neonicotinoids on non-target insects, including aquatic species, may significantly influence ecosystem structure and functioning. The present study investigated the sensitivity of Chironomus riparius to imidacloprid exposures during 24-h, 10- and 28-days by assessing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14111
Abstract: Active transposable elements (TEs) may result in divergent genomic insertion and abundance patterns among conspecific populations. Upon secondary contact, such divergent genetic backgrounds can theoretically give rise to classical Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibilities (DMI), thus contributing to… read more here.
