Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a broad-spectrum chlorinated organophosphate (OP) pesticide used
for the control of a variety of insects and pathogens in crops, fruits, vegetables, as well as …

Pesticide use has been suggested as one of the major drivers of the global amphibian
decline. Laboratory and mesocosm studies have addressed several questions to …

It is a widely held belief that environmental contaminants contribute to the decline of
amphibian populations. By spending most of their early life in water and later stages on the …

Chlorpyrifos is a widely used organosphosphate insecticide in India. Residue of the
insecticide is frequently detected in trace to moderate concentration in food grains and in …

The widespread evidence that global warming can increase species sensitivities to chemical
toxicants, and vice versa, and the recent insight that thermal evolution may mitigate these …

Ecotoxicological studies typically cover only a limited part of the natural thermal range of
populations and ignore daily temperature fluctuations (DTFs). Therefore, we may miss …

Over the last few years, the hazards associated with the extensive use of fungicides have
become an issue of great concern but, at present, the effects of these substances on …

There is increasing concern that climate change may make organisms more sensitive to
chemical pollution. Many pesticides are indeed more toxic at higher mean temperatures …

The aim of this study was to provide EFSA with information relating to assessment of the risk
to amphibians posed by pesticide exposure. In the first part of the study the European …

Ecotoxicological studies considerably improved realism by assessing the toxicity of
pollutants at different temperatures. Nevertheless, they may miss key interaction patterns …
