TL;DR

Integrated biomarker response (IBR) analysis revealed that EF's effects at environmental concentrations diminished over time, while its impacts at higher concentrations persisted or intensified, demonstrating that even sublethal exposures can alter key physiological and molecular functions in earthworms.

Biological and metabolism responses of earthworm (Eisenia fetida) exposed to metribuzin.

The results demonstrated that metribuzin exposure significantly inhibited earthworm growth, with the most pronounced effects observed at the highest concentration, and indicated a dose-dependent escalation of oxidative stress, identifying ROS and 8-OHdG as the most sensitive biomarkers.

Molecular to tissue-level perspective: Evaluating the toxicity and ecological risk of fluopyram to Eisenia fetida.

Fluopyram, a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide, is applied to soil for the control of nematode diseases. However, its toxicity to non-target soil organisms such as earthworms remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that fluopyram exposure would induce multi-level toxicity in Eisenia fetida through t...

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Azolla pinnata and Lemna minor for Biomonitoring Cd and Pb Contamination in Aquatic Environments

Heavy metal pollution in aquatic environments has led to devastating long-term effects in nature. Therefore, immediate action is required to develop ecotoxicological monitoring strategies to combat this environmental issue. This study evaluated the response of two aquatic plants, Azolla pinnata (Mosquito fern) and Lemn...

Exploring the phytoremediation capacity of Amaranthus species in trace metal(loid)-impacted terrestrial environments.

Environmental contamination by trace metal(loid)s threatens human health and ecological sustainability. Plants possess natural mechanisms to mitigate contaminated environments. This review synthesizes current evidence on the phytoremediation potential of Amaranthus spp. a widely distributed genus characterized by rapid...

Toxic effects and molecular mechanisms of Fluopyram on the liver of zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Fluopyram (FLP) is a novel and highly effective succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide and nematicide. Due to its widespread use in crop disease control, it inevitably enters aquatic environments, where it poses potential threat to aquatic organism safety. However, the ecotoxicological effects of FLP have n...
