2005a, b) to create FISK and its sister ‘-ISK’ toolkits for freshwater invertebrates (FI-ISK), marine fish (MFISK), marine invertebrates (MI-ISK) and amphibians (Amph-ISK). The first application and calibration of these screening tools was with FISK v1 to identify potentially invasive ...
The feeding requirements of the test organisms during bioaccumulation testing are dependent on the test duration and the test species used. For short-term testing (only hours) it might not be necessary to provide food, but if tests last for several days or even weeks, constant feeding is requi...
metapopulation, the location of patches did not influence occupancy dynamics. Because stochastic simulations can be computationally expensive, we also introduce a quantity for use in a simple differential equation model that encompasses all spatial information in a single variable. Using this quantity, ...
In Vietnam, it is considered that the important contamination sources in FF are ‘livestock and non-livestock-reservoirs, such as faecal-contaminated pond water, fish feed, birds, amphibians and reptiles’ [284]. Salmonella sp. has been isolated at the farm level from tilapias [130,261,285]...

In this regard, herpetofauna, including reptiles and amphibians, turn out to be carriers of different serotypes of Leptospira spp. [53]. In recent years, there have been increasing reports of this zoonotic bacterium in some freshwater turtle species, especially from urban environment. For instance...
In seasonally flooded short hydroperiod prairies underlain by marl, sawgrass is a major component of vegetation that provides habitat to the Cape Sable seaside sparrow, to other endangered nesting birds and to their prey organisms, such as amphibians and invertebrates [34]. Sawgrass is dominant in...
