Impact of Pollution on Terrestrial Arthropods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pollution, the unwanted and undesirable presence of a chemical or compound, is unfortunately common. The problem is global, affecting all continents and nations, and frequently crossing natural and political boundaries. Specific occurrences may be quite localized (such as waste-water runoff from mining operations) or cover exceptionally broad geographic areas (like acidic precipitation in Northern Europe or the entire North Eastern U.S.A. plus adjacent regions of Canada).

An update of the Worldwide Integrated Assessment (WIA) on systemic insecticides. Part 2: impacts on organisms and ecosystems.
New information on the lethal and sublethal effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on organisms is presented in this review, complementing the previous Worldwide Integrated Assessment (WIA) in 2015. The high toxicity of these systemic insecticides to invertebrates has been confirmed and expanded to include more species and compounds. Most of the recent research has focused on bees and the suble...
متن کاملA comparative assessment of soil arthropod abundance and diversity in practical farmlands of University of Ibadan, Nigeria
The study comparatively assessed the impacts of farm activities on the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and soil physico-chemical parameters of the Practical Year Training Programme (PYTP) farmlands, University of Ibadan, South Western Nigeria. Soil arthropods were collected from September, 2010 to February, 2011 in five sampling sites of PYTP farmlands using Berlese Tullgren Extracti...
متن کاملA comparative study for air pollution tolerance index of some terrestrial plant species
Although water and land pollution are very dangerous, air pollution has its own peculiarities due to its transboundary dispersion of pollutants over the entire world. In any well planned urban set up, industrial pollution takes a back seat and vehicular emissions take precedence as the major cause of urban air pollution. In the present study, Air pollution tolerance index was calculated for var...
متن کاملResearch on Chinese Life Cycle-Based Wind Power Plant Environmental Influence Prevention Measures
The environmental impact of wind power plants over their life cycle is divided into three stages: construction period, operation period and retired period. The impact is mainly reflected in ecological destruction, noise pollution, water pollution and the effect on bird migration. In response to these environmental effects, suggesting reasonable locations, reducing plant footprint, optimizing co...
متن کاملEffective limb length and the scaling of locomotor cost in terrestrial animals.
Relative to body size, smaller animals use more energy to travel a given distance than larger animals, but the anatomical variable driving this negative allometry remains the subject of debate. Here, I report a simple inverse relationship between effective limb length (i.e. hip height) and the energy cost of transport (COT; J kg(-1) m(-1)) for terrestrial animals. Using published data for a div...
