Bioaccumulation and excretion of heavy metals in insects is only partially clarified. We have
investigated cadmium accumulation in the feces, head and integument of Lymantria dispar …

Cadmium, like many other pollutants, is nondegradable and can be accumulated by
Lymantria dispar at a level that affects fitness components, physiology, and development …

By exposing herbivorous cutworm Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae to
Cadmium (Cd) stress via Cd treated cabbages Brassica campestris and artificial diets, we …

The current study extends our previous findings concerning the sensitivity of Lymantria
dispar larvae to cadmium in light of ecotoxicological risk assessment. Here we report the …

After accumulating in plants, lead and cadmium of technogenic origin concentrate in forest
litter, thus inhibiting the speed of its microbiological decomposition and causing chronic …

Long-term exposure of invertebrate populations to pollution might result in adaptations that
must be taken into account when evaluating physiological parameters as biomarkers of …

Insects brain as a part of nervous system is the first-line of fast stress response that integrate
stress signals to regulate all aspects of insect physiology and behaviour. The cadmium (Cd) …

BACKGROUND Lymantria dispar is an economically impactful forest pest worldwide. The
entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana shows great promise in pest management due …

Addition of low concentrations of metal ions to the diet of saprophagous insects can impact
on their metabolism over a short period of time, causing an increase or decrease in their …

Cadmium uptake takes place mainly through food. Lymantria dispar larvae were exposed to
dietary cadmium in concentrations of 10 and 30 μg Cd/g dry food (NOEC, no-observed-effect …
