Abstract

Some aspects concerning invertebrates, bacteria and the environment are examined, including the response to man-induced changes. Some services deployed by invertebrates are briefly reviewed. The effects of different contamination types on species involved in farming are described, including the effects of heavy metals, pesticides, and oil spills. The link of climate changes with bacterial diseases is discussed, with a brief review on the role of invasive species in agroecosystems and marine habitats.
