Emerging contaminants (ECs), a class of contaminants with low concentrations but
significant harm, have received a lot of attention in recent times. ECs comprises of various …

Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global importance. They are small
enough to be ingested by a wide range of organisms and at nano-scale, they may cross …

Chemical contaminants (eg metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals) are changing ecosystems
via effects on wildlife. Indeed, recent work explicitly performed under environmentally …

Microplastics (MPs) are abundant in freshwater and marine environments. They are diverse
shape and size and are ingested by organisms. In this study, goldfish (Carassius auratus) …

The numbers of potential neurotoxicants in the environment are raising and pose a great risk
for humans and the environment. Currently neurotoxicity assessment is mostly performed to …

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by
human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its …

Humans have brought about unprecedented changes to environments worldwide. For many
species, behavioral adjustments represent the first response to altered conditions. In this …

The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often
behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

Human activities such as industrialisation, urbanisation and agriculture have adversely
impacted terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Water pollutants such as heavy metals and …
