Concepts and developments for a new field in ecotoxicology, referred to as "landscape ecotoxicology," were proposed in the 1990s; however, to date, few studies have been developed in this emergent field. In fact, there is a strong interest in developing this area, both for renewing the concepts and tools used in ecotoxicology as well as for responding to practical issues, such as risk assessmen...

the production and use of synthetic nanoparticles is growing rapidly, and therefore the presence of these materials in the environment seems inevitable. titanium dioxide (tio2) presents various possible uses in industry, cosmetics, and even in the treatment of contaminated environments. studies about the potential ecotoxicological risks of tio2 nanoparticles (nano-tio2) have been published but...

In recent years, with the aggravation of environmental pollution, study aquatic ecotoxicology has become a hot topic. Some organisms, such as large fleas, toads, and zebrafish, have been developed applied model organisms. They increasingly used to bioaccumulation toxicity pollutants due advantages their small size, easy reproduction, short life cycle, low maintenance cost, ability combine genet...

background: the indispensable use of agrochemicals has created serious threats for earthworms abundance and their population therefore, several earthworm protocols have gained acceptance for use in tests to assess the effects of soil chemicals on soil organisms. dichlorovos, an organophosphorus pesticide, is one of the widely used pesticides in agricultural fields of m.p., central india. the ai...

The emergence of analytical tools for high-throughput screening of biomolecules has revolutionized the way in which toxicologists explore the impact of chemicals or other stressors on organisms. One of the most developed and routinely applied high-throughput analysis approaches is transcriptomics, also often referred to as gene expression profiling. The transcriptome represents all RNA molecule...
