Effects of chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin on the survival, growth and emergence of Chironomus riparius were determined on a life-cycle study. Although neither cypermethrin nor chlorpyrifos affected larval survival or growth, a decrease in the number of emerged midges and in the number of females over males, as well as in female biomass, were found for both insecticides. The results from this study indicate that multiple biological endpoints and extended periods of exposure are needed in order to achieve a better screening of insecticide toxicity.
通过一项生命周期研究确定了毒死蜱和氯氰菊酯对河岸摇蚊存活、生长和羽化的影响。尽管氯氰菊酯和毒死蜱均未影响幼虫的存活或生长,但两种杀虫剂处理组均出现羽化的摇蚊数量减少、雌性与雄性数量之比降低以及雌性生物量下降的情况。该研究结果表明,为了更好地筛选杀虫剂毒性,需要采用多个生物学终点指标并延长暴露时间。
