“…Another taxonomic group used in toxicological analyses is Isopoda, one of the largest orders of crustaceans with approximately 10,000 thousand described species, mostly marine (Schultz, 1982). Terrestrial isopods have already been used in toxicity tests of soil and the main parameters of evaluation were abundance of individuals (Faulkner & Lochmiller, 2000), reproduction rates (Niemeyer et al, 2009) and survival (Stanek et al, 2006). Metals are the main toxic agents evaluated using Isopoda, since these invertebrates bioaccumulate these elements.…”

The future of biomarkers lies in a combination of traditional biochemical and new-generation biomarkers. The latter are not only a potential replacement for existing biomarkers but will also provide new knowledge which might encourage renewed research and development of traditional biomarkers. For research purposes, complete ecotoxicity information should include contributions from molecular fingerprint of an organism, as well as whole organism, population and ecosystem responses. Still, the type of biomarkers used for routine purposes will depend on their reproducibility, their ease of use, robustness, affordability of the methodology and the type of chemicals, organisms and ecosystem of interest.

“…The most widely used toxicological endpoints in isopod testing are survival, growth, food consumption and assimilation, moult frequency, reproduction, avoidance behaviour, enzymatic biomarkers and locomotory behaviour (Drobne 1997;Drobne et al 2008;Drobne and Strus 1996;Engenheiro et al 2005;Hornung et al 1997;Jansch et al 2005;Jemec et al 2010;Loureiro 2005;Loureiro et al 2006Loureiro et al , 2009Santos et al 2010;Stanek et al 2006;Vink and Kurniawati 1996). The use of reproduction patterns as response to toxicity is sometimes not convenient, as such tests are considered time-consuming and laborious.…”

“…Isopods have been frequently used as model organisms in soil ecotoxicity tests as important representatives of the invertebrate soil fauna (Calhoa et al 2006;Caseiro et al 2000;Drobne et al 2008;Engenheiro et al 2005;Jemec et al 2010;Ribeiro et al 2001;Sousa et al 1998;Stanek et al 2006). They are also easily cultured under laboratory conditions, where they can complete their entire life-cycle (Caseiro et al 2000), and protocols for toxicity testing are available (Hornung et al 1998a, b) although no standard methods have been developed for these organisms (i.e.…”

Effects on survival and reproduction of Porcellio dilatatus exposed to different Cd species

The woodlouse Porcellio dilatatus (Crustacea) is a suitable model organism as a biological indicator for the toxic effects evaluation induced by pollutants exposure in the environment. In this study, the influence of cadmium (Cd) species on survival and reproduction of isopods was investigated. Survival, growth and reproductive parameters (time to pregnancy, pregnancy duration, pregnancy and abortion occurrence, number of juveniles per female and juvenile weight) were recorded after isopods were exposed to two species of Cd deployed in food: Cd(Cys)(2) and Cd(NO(3))(2). There was a difference between survival rates of exposed males and females to both Cd species but in the case of Cd(NO(3))(2) these differences were more accentuated, with females having higher survival rates. In the presence of both metal species a reduction in the number of pregnancies and pregnancy duration was observed, while in the case of Cd(Cys)(2) all pregnancies were inconclusive. The number of juveniles delivered per female fed with Cd(NO(3))(2) contaminated food was lower than in the control, whereas the juvenile weights were higher. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first toxicity test demonstrating that metal speciation affects reproduction in isopods. Cd(Cys)(2) showed to be the most toxic of the contaminants tested in this long term exposure and capable of jeopardizing the reproduction efforts of isopods.
