Indicative value of nematode food web indices and trophic group abundance was assessed for differentiating habitats in two soil types. A total of 604 soil samples were collected from croplands, grassy borders, turfgrass lawns, shrublands and forests in Huron County, Ohio characterized by muck soils. Also, a total of 242 soil samples were collected from two habitats, turfgrass lawns and croplands, in Wayne County, Ohio characterized by mineral soils. All nematodes extracted from soil samples were identified to genus level, categorized to trophic groups and various nematode community indices were calculated. Multivariate analysis of variance using composite of nematode measures revealed that croplands were significantly different from forests, shrublands, turfgrass lawns and grassy borders in the muck soils. Turfgrass lawns in muck soils were not different from forests but were different from shrublands. No differences were observed between forests and shrublands. Turfgrass lawns in mineral soils differed s...

Petagnaea gussonei is a rhizomatous, perennial scapose hemicryptophyte species belonging to a monospecific genus of Apiaceae. It lives only along woodland rivulets and is a Tertiary relic localized in the restricted area of the Nebrodi Mountains (NE Sicily, Italy). Ecological indicators have been employed to understand the status of eight localities (intermittent rivulets) where the species occurs. In order to evaluate both the rivulets' water-quality and landscape use, index of anthropisation (Ia), water fleas bioassay (TU), and analyses of water macroinvertebrates have been employed. The results obtained for the level of toxicity exclude the presence of macropollutants (TU < 0.001), whereas the analyses of the macroinvertebrates showed the occurrence of several microorganisms typical of altered environments. Correlations of the results about macroinvertebrates with those related to index of anthropisation for each site are positive. Levels of Ia range from 1.29 (minimum anthropisation) to 3.01 (maximum ...

The value of serum sorbitol dehydrogenase (s-SDH) activity to diagnose chemically induced liver damage in the fish, black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri), was assessed by intraperitoneal injection with pentachlorophenol sodium salt. Day 3 post-injection s-SDH activity levels were elevated in fish injected at the highest dosage (30 mg Kg−1) compared to control and other treatment groups. Control fish had s-SDH activity levels within the range of 15 to 88 mU mL−1 serum, while at the highest Na-PCP treatment s-SDH activity was 2.5 to 3.5 times higher on day 3 relative to control fish with levels returning to control levels by the 6th day following injection. An increase in the liver somatic index was not identified until day 6 post-injection and histological damage (hyperplasia) was not detected until the 9th day following injection in the high dosage treatment group. This study confirms that changes in s-SDH activity in black bream due to exposure to hepatotoxicants can be detected before physiological or hi...
通过腹腔注射五氯酚钠盐，评价血清山梨醇脱氢酶(s-SDH)活性对化学诱导的黑鲷肝损伤的诊断价值。注射后第3天，与对照组和其他处理组相比，注射最高剂量(30 mg Kg - 1)的鱼体内s-SDH活性水平升高。对照鱼血清中s-SDH活性在15 ~ 88 mU mL−1之间，而在Na-PCP处理下，s-SDH活性在第3天比对照鱼高2.5 ~ 3.5倍，并在注射后第6天恢复到对照水平。高剂量治疗组在注射后第6天才出现肝体指数升高，在注射后第9天才出现组织学损伤(增生)。本研究证实，由于暴露于肝毒物，黑鲷体内s-SDH活性的变化可以在生理或免疫反应前检测到。

Biological materials are widely used as a bioindicator for environmental pollution with heavy metals. Among these are human hair and nails, which also recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for worldwide environmental monitoring. Heavy metals Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were determined in fingernails and scalp hair from different sexes and ages of school children, adults and workers from polluted (Kima area and industrial region) and unpolluted areas (West Aswan) located at the West Nile of Aswan, Egypt. The atomic absorption spectroscopic technique was used for determination of the studied metals at their recommended conditions. The results reveal that individual nails and hair from polluted areas showed significantly higher concentrations of Cd and Pb (in children) and Cd, Cu and Pb (in adults and workers) than in those from unpolluted ones. Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in nails and hair depend on human sex but little on the ages. Studied metal concentrations in fingernails and scalp hair were ...

Methodology for measuring translational fluctuating asymmetry (TFA) on leaves of seagrass, Zostera capricorni Aschers has been developed and tested to detect a subtle effect of environmental stress associated with heavy metal pollution on developmental instability. Our analyses showed that concentration of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Se) in leaves and roots of the seagrass were significantly higher in the polluted location than in relatively unpolluted locations. We found significant differences in TFA between different locations, showing that the method is sensitive enough to detect spatial differences even within a rather small water body, but these differences were not associated with a higher concentration of heavy metals, i.e. plants from the polluted location did not show higher TFA. Possibly, seagrass can store heavy metals in their tissues and protect their development from the toxic effect, or the effect of heavy metals in the natural environment is confounded by other environmental factors.

The pine forest of the southeastern coastal plain supports a rich assemblage of cavity nesting birds. Unlike some regions, most primary and secondary cavity nesters experience high rates of nest predation. Rat snakes (Elaphe spp.) are proficient tree climbers and are well-documented nest predators throughout the red-cockaded woodpecker's (Picoides borealis) range. Nesting success of this species, however, is relatively high. This woodpecker is well-known for excavating cavities in living pine trees as well as excavating moderate to small holes or resin wells above and below its cavities, and scaling loose bark from around them. These behaviors create a surface around the cavity entrance that is difficult for snakes to climb. Despite these protective behaviors, snakes successfully depredate some nests. This suggests that variation may exist in individual woodpecker investment in cavity protective behaviors. To explore the usefulness of resin-well construction on cavity trees as an indicator of predation an...

The accumulation of two metals (copper and zinc) and the specific activities of two enzyme systems glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases (P450-MO) were measured in four tissues (liver, kidney, small and large intestine) of the frog Rana ridibunda, collected from a wetland near the town of Lagadas, Northern Greece. Very high concentrations of the two metals were found in all studied tissues. The specific activities of both enzyme systems showed a significant decrease in frogs collected from the Lagada area compared to the controls. In the liver, both activities were reduced by about 88–90%. GST activity decreased by about 73% and 87% in the kidneys and small intestine, respectively, whereas the reduction in P450-MO activity was somewhat lower (about 59% in the kidney and 40% in the small intestine). Total protein correlated negatively with GST in the liver and kidney. Negative correlation was also found between copper and GST activity in the kidney. It is concluded ...

Silver, as a global pollutant, is severely harmful to human health. However, whether the multi-biological toxicities of silver exposure could be transferred from exposed animals to their progeny has not been clarified. In the present study, we explored the model organism, nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, to analyze the multiple toxicities of silver exposure and their possibly transferable properties. Endpoints of life span, body size, brood size, generation time, body bend and head thrash were used for the evaluation of silver toxicity. High concentrations (75 and 200 μM) of silver exposure caused multi-biological defects of life span, development, reproduction and locomotion behavior, whereas low concentration (2.5 μM) of silver exposure did not resulted in severe life span defects. Moreover, most of these multi-biological toxicities could be transferred from exposed animals to their progeny at different concentrations of silver (2.5, 75 and 200 μM). Only the body bend defects could be largely recovered ...

Editors' Note: At the 14th International Conference on Environmental Bioindicators (14th ICEBI) held in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, USA on 24–26 April 2006, the Conference Chairs and Program Committee initiated the Roundtable Discussion Groups as a prominent and regular feature of this and future conferences. The Discussions are designed to generate focused debate around key topic areas, led by academic, government and industry experts, and are structured to produce definitive papers for peer review and publication in EBI's first-quarter issues of each publication year. The three Roundtables of the 14th ICEBI posed questions revolving around the chosen topic areas of Mercury Bioindicators, Marine Ecosystem-level Indicators, and Regulatory and Policy Uses of Bioindicators, and moved from “what we know” to “where we need to go” and “what are the policy implications from our discussions and conclusions.” The paper on coral reef indicators was published in EBI 2(1) and was the first product of this undertaki...
