| Abstract: | Purpose The use of only one or a few species—representing an entire taxon—in ecotoxicological standard tests poses risk of underestimating
the impact of toxicants on the environment. In earthworm ecotoxicity tests, the species Eisenia fetida or Eisenia andrei are commonly used, and there is evidence that these species respond relatively insensitive towards environmental pollution.
With the present study, we wanted to evaluate the risk of underestimating effects of the insecticide imidacloprid in soil
organisms by comparing E. fetida with two other earthworm species (Aporrectodea caliginosa and Lumbricus terrestris) regarding their sensitivities towards soil contaminated with this widely used insecticide. |
