“…These are perhaps the most complete examples of ED studies in wildlife populations. Further examples for ED in invertebrates are scarce and limited to laboratory studies, where effects on endocrine regulated processes in marine and freshwater invertebrates (Porte et al, 2006), and in the soil compartment have been demonstrated for some compounds (Lemos et al, 2009(Lemos et al, , 2010a(Lemos et al, , 2010b(Lemos et al, , 2010c. Endocrine changes following exposure to certain compounds may therefore be missed or simply be immeasurable at present, even though there is increasing evidence indicating that invertebrates are susceptible to ED (Porte et al, 2006).…”
