Respiratory strategies and associated exchange epithelia as determinants on contaminant uptake in aquatic insects

Creator:: Buchwalter, David B.
Abstract:: Aquatic insects are used extensively to evaluate water quality. Despite their widespread use as indicator organisms, relatively little is known about the organismal characteristics that determine sensitivity differences to individual and multiple stressors. Insects have evolved several respiratory strategies that range from breathing atmospheric air to utilizing dissolved oxygen in...

Environmental estrogens and skeletal development disruption in the fathead minnow : A teleost model of vertebrate developmental toxicity

Creator:: Warner, Kara E.
Abstract:: Natural and synthetic estrogenic compounds detected in surface waters have been linked to endocrine signaling disruption in several species. Endogenous estrogen contributes to cartilage and bone deposition during development in vertebrates, and is susceptible to perturbation from xenoestrogens. The goals of this work were to develop a teleost model to...

Continuous monitoring and modeling to assess pesticide exposure in critical habitat for Pacific salmonids

Creator:: Janney, Philip K.
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest and California freshwater resources are key elements in the life history and ecology of Pacific salmon and steelhead listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Risk to listed Pacific salmonid species can be assessed by evaluating the spatial and temporal co-occurrence of salmonid species at...

Biochemical and physiological indicators of behavioral impairment in salmonids exposed to chlorpyrifos and copper

Creator:: Sandahl, Jason
Abstract:: The purpose of this work was to determine if environmentally-relevant concentrations of chlorpyrifos and copper, two commonly detected chemicals in Western surface waters, can negatively impact the biological health of salmonids. Both compounds are highly neurotoxic to fish, but each with distinct biological target sites and mechanisms of action. We...

A Multi-Tiered Approach Using Daphnia magna to Assess Chlorpyrifos Risk to Aquatic Receptors

Creator:: Maggio, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a widely used broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide. Following exposures, CPF and its more toxic oxon metabolite (CPFO) elicit neurotoxic effects by inhibiting the activity of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE), resulting in altered fitness and death at high doses. Following exposure, organisms bioactivate CPF to CPFO through the Cytochrome...

Chemical and environmental factors affecting pesticide volatilization from turfgrass

Creator:: Conway, Michael S.
Abstract:: Volatile loss rates of pesticides from turfgrass were measured using the Backward-Time Lagrangian Stochastic Dispersion model (Flesch et al., 1995). Solar radiation, ambient temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, and wind speed were monitored continuously. Growth regulator was applied to the turf plot several days before pesticide application to...

Effects of esfenvalerate on native macroinvertebrates representative of Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Johnson, Katherine R.
Abstract:: Aquatic insects are essential components of healthy stream ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling, trophic dynamics and other ecological functions. Aquatic insect species, particularly those in the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT taxa) are however, extremely sensitive to insecticide contamination. Given that urban and agricultural use of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides...

Susceptibility of riparian soil invertebrates to the herbicide triclopyr

Creator:: Moran, Patrick (Patrick William)
Abstract:: Riparian zones of Pacific Northwest forests have high species diversity and abundance and act as an important interface between the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, riparian zones comprise a significant portion of the total buffer zone established during commercial forest production to protect aquatic ecosystems from adjacent management activities....
