Phylogeny meets ecotoxicology: evolutionary patterns of sensitivity to a common insecticide
Pesticides commonly occur in aquatic systems and pose a substantial challenge to the conservation of many taxa. Ecotoxicology has traditionally met this challenge by focusing on short-term, single-species tests and conducting risk assessments based on the most sensitive species tested. Rarely have ecotoxicology data been examined from an evolutionary perspective, and to our knowledge, there has...
متن کاملGreen technology meets ecotoxicology
By applying concept and principles of green chemistry into different technological processes, green technologies are developed. The environmental and economic benefits of “green” approach is achieved through several directions, such as the use of renewable raw materials, creation of economic efficiency, the use of alternative reaction conditions, as well as the application of non-conventional s...
متن کاملIncorporating evolutionary insights to improve ecotoxicology for freshwater species
Ecotoxicological studies have provided extensive insights into the lethal and sublethal effects of environmental contaminants. These insights are critical for environmental regulatory frameworks, which rely on knowledge of toxicity for developing policies to manage contaminants. While varied approaches have been applied to ecotoxicological questions, perspectives related to the evolutionary his...
متن کاملReverend Bayes meets Darwin: Bayesian inference of phylogeny and its impact on evolutionary biology
The probability of a high roll is larger for the biased dice than for the fair dice. Suppose that you draw a die at random from the box and roll it twice, observing a four on the first roll and a six on the second roll. What is the probability that the die is biased? A Bayesian analysis combines ones prior beliefs about the probability of a hypothesis with the likelihood. The likelihood is the ...
متن کاملSensitivity of phylogeny estimation to taxonomic sampling.
Recent studies have shown that addition or deletion of taxa from a data matrix can change the estimate of phylogeny. I used 29 data sets from the literature to examine the effect of taxon sampling on phylogeny estimation within data sets. I then used multiple regression to assess the effect of number of taxa, number of characters, homoplasy, strength of support, and tree symmetry on the sensiti...
