The Effects of Pyrethroid and Triazine Pesticides on Fish Physiology
Worldwide pesticide usage has increased dramatically during the past two decades, coinciding with changes in farming practices and increasingly intensive agriculture. Environmental pollution caused by pesticides, especially in aquatic ecosystems, has become a serious problem. Contamination of water by pesticides, either directly or indirectly, can lead to fish kills, reduced fish productivity, ...
متن کاملEstimation of dynamic rate parameters in insect populations undergoing sublethal exposure to pesticides.
With newer, more environmentally friendly and, subsequently less lethal, pesticides in use, evaluating efficacy of a pesticide now requires more than simply counting deaths after treatment. A discrete, age-structured matrix model that incorporates a species' life history traits (such as birth rate, death rate and fecundity) has previously been used by ecologists. This model will be presented an...
متن کاملInsights into the Nutritional Physiology of Nickel
Nickel (Ni) is essential for plants, yet its physiological role is poorly understood. Ni-deficient and Ni-sufficient pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] trees were compared regarding the impact of Ni nutritional status on reduced nitrogen (N) forms present in xylem sap at spring bud break. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of xylem sap of Ni-sufficient trees found organic...
متن کاملRecent insights into C3 glomerulopathy
'C3 glomerulopathy' is a recent disease classification comprising several rare types of glomerulonephritis (GN), including dense deposit disease (DDD), C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) and CFHR5 nephropathy. These disorders share the key histological feature of isolated complement C3 deposits in the glomerulus. A common aetiology involving dysregulation of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement...
متن کاملAn unforeseen chain of events: lethal effects of pesticides on frogs at sublethal concentrations.
The field of toxicology has traditionally assessed the risk of contaminants by using laboratory experiments and a range of pesticide concentrations that are held constant for short periods of time (1-4 days). From these experiments, one can estimate the concentration that causes no effect on survival. However, organisms in nature frequently experience multiple, applications of pesticides over t...
