Infestation Patterns of Choanoflagellates on Pseudo-Mitzschia

Creator:: de Vore, Samantha
Abstract:: Pseudo-Nitzschia (P/N) is a species of naturally occurring phytoplankton that contributes to harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the California Current System (CCS). P/N can produce domoic acid (DA), a toxin which accumulates in organisms that consume phytoplankton, leading to amnesiac shellfish poisoning in higher trophic levels. Thus DA can negatively...

Systematic review of residual toxicity studies of pesticides to bees and comparison to language on pesticide labels using data from residual toxicity studies and USEPA published values

Creator:: Swanson, Leah
Abstract:: BACKGROUND. Residues of pesticides on crops can result in mortality to foraging bees. The likelihood of mortality can be mitigated by applying pesticides in the evening so that their residues dissipate by the following morning when bees resume foraging. The dissipation rates of different pesticides, or their residual toxicity, is...
