Assessment of the effects of the pesticide imidacloprid on the behaviour of the aquatic oligochaete lumbriculus variegatus (2010)
Journal Article

Contaminants, such as pesticides, can cause direct toxic effects when released into aquatic environments. Suitably sensitive species can help us understand and predict the impacts of such pollutants. Automated sediment toxicity testing and biomonitor... Read More about Assessment of the effects of the pesticide imidacloprid on the behaviour of the aquatic oligochaete lumbriculus variegatus.

Can behavioural responses of Lumbriculus variegatus (Oligochaeta) assess sediment toxicity? A case study with sediments exposed to acid mine drainage (2010)
Journal Article

The São Domingos mine (Portugal) is, potentially, a good site for ecotoxicological studies, due to a pH and metal gradient of acid mine drainage. In this study, the toxicity of several mine sediments was evaluated using the aquatic oligochaete Lumbri...
