Nano-sized Al2O3 reduces acute toxic effects of thiacloprid on the non-biting midge Chironomus riparius
This study focuses on interactions between nanoparticles and a pesticide. The aim was to investigate how nano-sized aluminum oxide (410 nm) can alter the toxic effects of thiacloprid, even if no sorption between particles and the insecticide takes place. Thus, our study investigated a rather unexplored interaction. We conducted our research with larvae of Chironomus riparius and used thiaclopri...
متن کاملNano-sized zeolites as modulators of thiacloprid toxicity on Chironomus riparius
This study investigated whether zeolites of different size (Y30 (nano-sized) and H-Beta(OH)-III (forming large aggregates/agglomerates composed of 50 nm small primary particles)) exerted acute toxicity on larvae of the non-biting midge, Chironomus riparius, and whether such zeolites are able to modulate the toxicity of a common insecticide, thiacloprid, by means of adsorption of a dissolved tox...
متن کاملEffects of cadmium and tributyltin on development and reproduction of the non-biting midge Chironomus riparius (Diptera): baseline experiments for future multi-generation studies.
In this study the effects of tributyltin (TBT) and cadmium (Cd) were tested on the freshwater arthropod Chironomus riparius (Diptera) in life-cycle experiments. To this end, the OECD guideline 218 was extended with reproduction relevant parameters (e.g. number of fertile egg masses per female). Based on these reproduction data the number of larvae for next generation and the population growth r...
متن کاملAnalyses of Expressed Sequence Tags from Chironomus riparius Using Pyrosequencing : Molecular Ecotoxicology Perspective
OBJECTIVES Chironomus riparius, a non-biting midge (Chironomidae, Diptera), is extensively used as a model organism in aquatic ecotoxicological studies, and considering the potential of C. riparius larvae as a bio-monitoring species, little is known about its genome sequences. This study reports the results of an Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) sequencing project conducted on C. riparius larvae ...
متن کاملDynamics of metal adaptation in riverine chironomids.
The ability of the non-biting midge Chironomus riparius to survive and reproduce in metal polluted lowland rivers facilitates the opportunity to study micro-evolutionary processes in situ. However, due to larval drift, adapted midge populations are subject to regular immigration of non-adapted specimens from clean upstream river reaches. To examine the influence of non-adapted genes in adapted ...
