Developments in soil ecotoxicology started with observations on pesticide effects on soil
invertebrates in the 1960s. To support the risk assessment of chemicals, in the 1980s and …

Isopods play an important role in the decomposition of leaf litter and therefore are making a
significant contribution to nutrient cycling and soil ecosystem services. As a consequence …

Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) are the most successful crustacean colonizers of land
habitats. From an evolutionary point of view, they are excellent examples of model …

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide with neurotoxic action that, as a possible
alternative for commonly used organophosphorus pesticides, has gained registration in …

Terrestrial isopods are known to be sensitive to humidity, brightness or temperature. Until
now, aggregation was assumed to depend on these sensitivities as a result of individual …

Landfills, as a source of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), pose a threat to the environment
and human health. A literature review was conducted to explore the diversity of arthropods …

Physico-chemical properties of microplastics (MPs) change during weathering in the
environment. There is a lack of knowledge about the effects of such environmentally relevant …

The main goal of the study was to evaluate the avoidance behaviour of isopods (Porcellio
scaber) to food or soil contaminated with different nanoparticles (NPs): Ag-NPs, sulfidized …

An experimental assessment of the defence hypothesis of nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulation in
Alyssum was lacking. Also, to date no study had investigated the effects of hyperaccumulator …

Pyrethrins are natural insecticides that have been on the market for decades. In spite of that
only limited data are available on the toxicity of pyrethrins to non-target animals. In our study …
