Wastewater effluents and global warming affect freshwater ecosystems and impact their crucial biodiversity. Our study aimed at characterizing individual and combined impacts of wastewater effluent and increased water temperature (as one aspect of climate change) on model freshwater communities. We tested the effect of experimental treatments on gen...

Freshwater biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services are changing at an unprecedented rate due to the impacts of vast number of stressors overlapping in time and space. Our study aimed at characterizing individual and combined impacts of pollution with pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and increased water temper...

Sewage pollution causes the presence of pharmaceuticals (PhAC) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in freshwaters worldwide. Like many other emerging contaminants (ECs), PhACs and EDCs can be bioaccumulated in various aquatic organisms. Emergence of aquatic insects connects aquatic and terrestrial food webs in riparian zones causing transfer...

Allium-test je jednostavni biotest za određivanje ukupne toksičnosti i genotoksičnosti kojeg učenici uz pomoć nastavnika ili samostalno mogu provesti u školi te njime testirati učinak različitih otopina na modelni organizam Allium cepa L. (obični luk). Allium-test je dobar primjer projekta u nastavi jer se svojim opsegom može prilagoditi dobi učeni...
