domain of specialization
AQUATIC ECOTOXICOLOGY

• Development of ecologically relevant and cost-effective bioassays with organisms representative of key functions at the ecosystem level (primary production, consumption, decomposition), in particular in situ sublethal tests with microalgae, invertebrates and fish, specific for streams, ponds and estuaries;

• Avoidance (spatial) to contaminants by aquatic invertebrates and small fish, as a complementary sublethal response to improve ecological realism in the assessment of the environmental risks of contaminants;

• Studies using model ecosystems (microcosms/mesocosms) to generate more ecologically relevant assessments than laboratory studies, while offering greater experimental control than field studies;

• Development of approaches specific for sub-tropical and tropical systems that take into account environmental factors and routes of exposure essential in determining the fate and toxicity of chemicals and the availability of suitable test organisms.
 
present investigation interests
MAJOR APPROACHES PURSUED BY THE RESEARCH TEAM:

• Develop ecologically relevant and cost-effective bioassays with organisms representative of key functions at the ecosystem level (primary production, consumption, decomposition), in particular in situ sublethal tests with microalgae, invertebrates and fish, specific for streams, ponds and estuaries;

• Reduce uncertainties arising from the extrapolations inherent to the process of ecological risk assessment of impacted sites (e.g. from laboratory to field, one species to another, organism- to population-, community- or ecosystem-level);

• Integrate the ecotoxicological characterisation of the soil, which is usually affected via the direct exposure of the organisms to the pollutants, with the potential indirect toxic effects on adjacent aquatic systems (e.g. via runoff);

• Tropical ecotoxicology, to reduce the disconnect between environmental problems in the tropics and the information that is generally used to address them, which is based on the knowledge gained in temperate regions ignoring the differences in physical, chemical, and biological processes and in species sensitivity and ecology (i.e., routes of exposure and effects).
