DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.05.018
Abstract: The relatively low availability of toxicity data for indigenous tropical species has often been discussed. In addition, several taxonomic groups of invertebrates are understudied, such as dragonflies and ostracods. The aim of the present study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117105
Abstract: Macrophytes play an important role in aquatic ecosystems, and thus are often used in ecological risk assessments of potentially deleterious anthropogenic substances. Risk assessments for macrophyte populations or communities are commonly based on inferences drawn… read more here.
