Life cycle responses of the midge Chironomus riparius to polycyclic aromatic compound exposure.
During acute exposure, polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) act mainly by narcosis, but during chronic exposure the same compounds may exert sublethal life cycle effects. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the chronic effects of sediment spiked PACs on the emergence of the midge Chironomus riparius. Three isomer pairs were selected, and 28-day LC50 values and 50% emergence times (E...
متن کاملLife-cycle effects of sediment-associated 2,4,5-trichlorophenol on two groups of the midge Chironomus riparius with different exposure histories.
Effects of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP) on life-cycle traits of the midge Chironomus riparius and the ability of the midge to evolve tolerance to TCP were assessed using a reference group and a group preexposed to TCP during three generations, both originating from the same laboratory culture. F1 larvae of these groups were then exposed to nominal TCP concentrations of 51, 177, 355, and 532 micr...
متن کاملInteraction between genetic diversity and temperature stress on life-cycle parameters and genetic variability in midge Chironomus riparius populations
The genetic diversity of natural populations and the increase in global temperature are becoming important issues in ecotoxicological research. We investigated the combined effects of 3 different temperature levels and 6 different levels of genetic diversity on the life history parameters of Chironomus riparius. Inbreeding and loss of genetic variation are major threats to small and endangered ...
متن کاملchronic toxicity of mercury (hgcl2) to the benthic midge chironomus riparius
in most aquatic ecosystems mercury accumulates more in the sediment than in water column. however, due to limited eco-toxicological data, it is difficult to predict the toxicity of these sediments. the present study evaluated the effects of inorganic mercury in spiked sediment on the survival, growth, and emergence of the midge chironomus riparius and compared the results to mercury concentrati...
متن کاملEffects of the pyrethroid esfenvalerate on life-cycle traits and population dynamics of Chironomus riparius--importance of exposure scenario.
Field populations of aquatic organisms, particularly those inhabiting flowing waters, likely are exposed to short pulses of pesticides following periods of spray drift, surface runoff, or drain flow. In the present study, we investigated the effect of pulse exposures of a pyrethroid insecticide, esfenvalerate, on survival, development, and reproduction of the midge, Chironomus riparius. The fir...
