recently, some natural products have been used in the fields as alternative to synthetic compounds, to minimize the negative impacts to the environment. this study aimed to verify the effects of neem-based bio-pesticide in causing acute toxicity for a fish and chronic toxicity for a microcrustacean. to this end, danio rerio and daphnia magna were exposed to various concentrations of a neem-base...

Endocrine disruption is intimately linked to controlling the population of pollutant-exposed organisms through reproduction and development dysregulation. This study investigated how endocrine in a predator organism could affect prey species biology infochemical communication. Daphnia magna Chlorella vulgaris were chosen as model planktons, respectively, fenoxycarb was used for disrupting syste...

This study assesses the potential of cladocerans as competitors for controlling the oviposition and larval abundances of mosquitoes. Control of mosquito larvae involving the use of antagonists has focused mostly on predators. We hypothesized that cladoceran competitors have a strong potential to control larval populations of some species of mosquitoes that can be early colonizers of newly-fille...

Recent technological advancement has enabled the emergence of lipidomics as an important tool for assessing molecular stress, one which has yet to be assessed fully as an approach in an environmental toxicological context. Here we have applied a high-resolution, non-targeted, nanoelectrospray ionisation (nESI) direct infusion mass spectrometry (DIMS) technique to assess the effects of oxidative...

We present the novel use of photoelectrochemistry to detect and monitor the motion of a single Daphnia magna swimming in a confined volume of water. Using an array of individually-addressable electrodes under illumination and potentiostatted so that a photocurrent is generated, the motion of the daphnid is detected by means of measuring "dark" transients as the shadow cast by the moving sphere ...

Abstract Understanding resource allocation strategies underlying inducible defense is a challenging scientific issue, because of the difficulty in measuring allocations defensive traits. We examined allometric changes to evaluate on tail spine Daphnia within and between species further explore at different developmental stages their relationship with growth reproduction. found that four (Daphni...

Several advanced oxidation processes such as hydrogen peroxide photolysis, the Fenton treatment, photo-Fenton treatment, and ozonation combined with hydrogen peroxide and UVradiation for the destruction of 2,4-dinitrophenol were studied. Advanced oxidation processes, especially the Fenton treatment, were found to be effective for the degradation of 2,4-dinitrophenol and removal of toxicity. Acc...
