Approaches for extrapolating pesticide side-effects between arthropod species: how much do we know?

  • Chapter
Book cover Ecotoxicology

Abstract

One of the paradigms of ecotoxicology is the practical need to select a limited number of species for evaluating the environmental effects of chemicals, whilst wishing to apply or extrapolate the findings to other (related) species or groups of organisms which are at risk of exposure within the same environmental compartment. This is true for those working with organisms inhabiting the marine, freshwater, soil and crop environments.
