Sediment toxicity bioassays are used for evaluation of the ecological risks produced by contaminants, which is related to biodiversity loss in benthic environments. In Brazil, there are few benthic models for these bioassays, and for those already established, the knowledge is incipient regarding the mechanisms of toxicity that are activated, generating effects at different levels of biol…
Few benthic models are used in sediment toxicity tests in Brazil. For those already widely used, knowledge regarding the toxicity mechanisms activated by exposure in the test, which generate effects at different levels of biological organization, is incipient. As an important model, the tanaid Monokalliapseudes schubarti, tolerant to different compounds, stands out. For the species, stand…
Benthic models for sediment toxicity testing are lmited in Brazil, and for those already used, knowledge is incipient about the toxicity mechanisms, and sublethal effects triggered at different levels of biological organization. Two important models include the burrowing amphipod Tiburonella viscana, which is highly sensitive to contaminants, and the tanaid Monokalliapseudes schubarti, wh…
Ocean acidification caused by climate change is marked by the production of oxygen-free ions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), acidification can reduce surface ocean pH by 0.3-0.4 units and increase the temperature by 5 °C. Another driver threatening biodiversity is the introduction of exotic species from biofouling. To deal with that, one strategy is bas…

Marine pollution is a major threat to biodiversity, and toxicity tests are important to describe and identify environmental risks. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques such as transcriptomics allow the decoding of molecular mechanisms of toxicity and specific biomarkers, supporting the description of initiating events of adverse outcome pathways (AOP), essential for monitoring, pol…
Recently, irgarol and diuron have been the most commonly used biocides in antifouling paints and their main impact is related to its presence in the aquatic environment and ecological risks of adverse biological effects on non-target species. Data on the toxicity of these compounds are known but studies evaluating specific responses such as endocrine activity are limited. The main goal o…
