Abstract Current use pesticides (CUPs) are recognised as the largest deliberate input of bioactive substances into terrestrial ecosystems and one main factors responsible for current decline in insects agricultural areas. To quantify seasonal insect exposure landscape at a regional scale (Rhineland-Palatine Germany), we analysed presence multiple (93) active ingredients CUPs across three different cultivation types (with each fields: arable, vegetable, viticulture) neighbouring meadows. We collected monthly soil vegetation samples over year. A total 71 CUP residues mixtures was detected, with up to 28 25 single samples. The concentrations numbers fluctuated sampling period, peaking summer months but remaining almost constant topsoil. calculated in-field additive risks earthworms, collembola, soil-living wild bees using measured CUPs. Our results call need assess mixture low concentrations, chronically present Since this risk is not addressed regulation, emphasise urgent implement global pesticide reduction targets.

Pesticides are widely accumulated in agricultural soils China under successive applications, causing negative impacts on non-target species and environmental qualities. However, a nationwide overview of the residual levels pesticides soil, ecological risks to soil lacking.

Environmental contamination is ubiquitous and even in the ocean, signs of different types (chemical, biological, or plastic) are detected all kinds environments. In this study, a sediment core was sampled at bottom Blue Hole Maldives (Ari Atoll) to make first characterization terms its grain size organic–inorganic matter composition assess levels trace elements (by ICP-MS analysis) eventual presence microplastics optical classification microRaman analysis items). High concentrations Hg (a maximum value 0.145 ppm layer core), Cd 0.65 surface layer), As (9.4 top core) were highlighted layers core. Plastic polymers not core, but 51 fibers characterized by artificial dyes additives found mean 5.7 for each slice). The results confirmed Maldivian Hole, supporting hypothesis due ineffective waste management within archipelago mass tourism affecting atolls.

Reduced Body Mass in a Highly Insectivorous Mammal, the Garden Dormouse—Ecological Consequences of Insect Decline?

Ecology and Evolution, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(4)

Biodiversity is decreasing worldwide, and early indicators are needed to identify endangered populations before they start decline in abundance. In mammals, body mass (BM) regarded as an indicator of fitness, its loss used warning signal preceding population decline. The garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus, Gliridae, BM: 60-110 g) a small mammalian hibernator that has disappeared from over 50% former range the last decades. aim this study was investigate whether dormice presumably thriving stable already show signals, which may precede We therefore conducted capture-mark-recapture studies during 2003-2005 (Period 1) 2018-2021 2) Northern Black Forest, one natural distribution areas Germany. collected fecal samples, measured BM, tibia length proxy for size age.

Ecotoxicity of Pesticides Approved for Use in European Conventional or Organic Agriculture for Honeybees, Birds, and Earthworms

Pesticides affect biota inside and outside agricultural fields due to their intrinsic mode of action. This study investigated whether pesticide active substances (AS) approved for conventional agriculture in Europe differ ecotoxicity from AS organic agriculture. The evaluation was based on official ecotoxicological data surrogate honeybee, bird, earthworm species, which also serve as a reference environmental risk assessments the authorization process. In October 2022, 268 chemical-synthetic 179 nature-based were listed EU Pesticide Database. Ecotoxicological only available 254 use 110 results showed higher AS: 79% (201 AS), 64% (163 AS) 91% (230 moderately acutely toxic honeybees, birds, earthworms, respectively, compared 44% (48 14% (15 36% (39 We have considered potential ecotoxicities individual this assessment; actual exposure field, where multiple formulations with other chemicals (including impurities) are applied, will be different. Nevertheless, these emphasize that an increase would reduce burden biodiversity associated ecosystem services.
