The coevolution of parental supply and offspring demand has long been thought to involve
offspring need driving begging and parental care, leaving other hypotheses underexplored …

Assessment of organophosphorus (OP) pesticide exposure in non-target organisms rarely
involves non-neural molecular targets. Here we performed a 30-d microcosm experiment …

An outdoor microcosm was performed with tadpoles (Rhinella arenarum) exposed to 125 μg
L− 1 chlorpyrifos and fed two types of food, ie, lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and a formulated …

Most animals must cope with seasonal fluctuations in environmental conditions, including
variations in food availability and composition. Accordingly, it is expected that most species …

Inhibition of blood esterase activities by organophosphate (OP) pesticides has been used as
a sensitive biomarker in birds. Furthermore, compared to mammalian vertebrates, less is …

This study increases our understanding of how diet-driven phenotypic plasticity can help
non-target aquatic invertebrates deal with chlorpyrifos (CPO) exposure. A bioassay was …

Over the last years, cholinesterase (ChE) and carboxylesterase (CbE) activities have been
increasingly used in environmental biomonitoring to detect the exposure to …

Common Mynas Sturnus tristis, previously known as Acridotheres tristis, are considered
among the world's worst most invasive species. However, relatively little is known about the …

Seed-eating birds have a diet of high nutritional value; however, they must cope with plant
secondary metabolites (PSM). We postulated that the detoxification capacity of birds is …

Seeds of cultivars of the crop oil seed rape (Brassica napus) differ widely in their content of
glucosinolates (GS) and erucic acid (EA), while seeds of the wild relative B. rapa have a …
