Basal levels of enzymatic biomarkers and energy reserves in Porcellionides prui...
Ferreira, NGC; Santos, MJG; Domingues, I; Calhoa, CF; Monteiro, M; Amorim, MJB; Soares, AMVM; Loureiro, SIn the last decades biomarkers have been widely used for the assessment of effects and/or exposure to environmental contaminants, but to our knowledge few data has been published for isopod species. Along with biomarkers the quantification of energy reserves has also been used to evaluate organisms' energetic budget. Enzymatic biomarkers can also be useful to understand chemicals/stress modes of action. The aim...
Toxic effects of molluscicidal baits to the terrestrial isopod Porcellionides p...
Santos, MJG; Ferreira, NGC; Soares, AMVM; Loureiro, SPurpose Methiocarb and metaldehyde are the most common molluscicides applied in agricultural and horticultural fields in Portugal and elsewhere in Europe. The application of molluscicidal baits to control slug and snail populations can pose a threat to non-target organisms like terrestrial isopods, because they are detritivorous and may feed on the toxic baits applied to the soil surface. The aim of this work w...
