The widespread use of agrochemicals for controlling pests and diseases of crops is
recognized as a main threat to biodiversity. Sulfonylurea herbicides are being increasingly …

Although coastal ecosystems are naturally submitted to temporal variations of salinity,
salinization has been increasing over time threatening coastal biodiversity. Species that …

Environmental contamination is one of the major causes of biodiversity loss. Wetlands are
particularly susceptible to contamination and species inhabiting these habitats are subjected …

Due to the periodic emission of pollutants, the exposure mode of contaminants in water
bodies is mostly pulse exposure, and the toxic effects of fluctuating exposure on aquatic …

Salinization is predicted to intensify due to climate change, impacting biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning. Amphibians, particularly embryos and larvae, are highly susceptible …

Developmental plasticity evolves in heterogeneous environmental conditions as long as
individuals can accurately perceive them. A paradigmatic example of developmental …

Assessing the determinants of reproductive success is critical but often complicated because
of complex interactions between parental traits and environmental conditions occurring …

Group living results in various benefits and costs, which often depend on group size and
ontogenetic state of the individual. Therefore, certain group sizes are favourable over others …

Current environmental changes can drastically affect aquatic freshwater ecosystems.
Salinization is one such change that affects freshwater species due to osmotic costs, which …

The role of parasites can change depending on the food web community. Predators, for
instance, can amplify or dilute parasite effects on their hosts. Likewise, exposure to parasites …
