Although a number of biomarkers of pollutant exposure have been identified in invertebrate species, direct linkage with changes at population and/or community levels are poorly documented and, despite the ecological importance of invertebrates, there is no conclusive evidence that individual measurements of biochemical parameters may allow the effects of pollutants on populations and communities to be predicted. Among the various biochemical parameters used as biomarkers in invertebrates exposed to pollutants in the field, only those for which changes at population or community level can be suggested are discussed in the present review. At population and community levels, the development of resistance to pesticides and changes in behaviour, reproduction and development are analysed as putative consequences of biochemical and physiological alterations. Limits to the use of biochemical parameters as biomarkers of invertebrate exposure to pollutants are discussed. Future research trends and experimental approaches to the validation of invertebrate biomarkers in environmental pollution assessment are suggested.
尽管已经在无脊椎动物物种中确定了许多污染物暴露的生物标志物，但与种群和/或群落水平变化的直接联系记录很少，而且尽管无脊椎动物具有重要的生态意义，但没有确凿的证据表明个体生化参数的测量可以预测污染物对种群和群落的影响。在作为暴露于田间污染物的无脊椎动物生物标志物使用的各种生化参数中，本综述仅讨论了那些可以在种群或群落水平上提示变化的参数。在种群和群落水平上，分析了对杀虫剂的抗性发展以及行为、繁殖和发育的变化，这些变化被认为是生化和生理变化的潜在后果。讨论了将生化参数用作污染物暴露的无脊椎动物生物标志物的局限性。提出了未来研究趋势和实验方法，以验证环境污染评估中无脊椎动物生物标志物。
