In general, reproduction and behaviour proved to be much more sensitive endpoints than growth. Different endpoints, however, did not always yield concordant results. As an example, Ni already affected growth and reproduction at lower concentrations than did Zn and Pb, but did not affect taxis to food, not even at strongly elevated Ni concentrations. Taxis towards polluted food spots was deferentially affected by different metals and metal concentrations: nematodes avoided food spots containing low concentrations (1–2&nbsp;mg&nbsp;L<sup>−1</sup>) of Zn and Pb and very high concentrations of Ni. By contrast, they preferred food spots polluted with Ni at 1&nbsp;mg&nbsp;L<sup>−1</sup> over unpolluted food. Pb at high concentration (129&nbsp;mg&nbsp;L<sup>−1</sup>) was the only metal which interfered with food finding, i.e. <em>C.&nbsp;elegans</em> did not exhibit a significant taxis to either polluted or unpolluted food spots. We conclude that a combination of growth, reproduction and behavioural assays provides a more complete picture and allows a better assessment of the different modes of action of pollutants and their corresponding effect concentrations.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Effects of heavy metals on free-living nematodes: A multifaceted approach using growth, reproduction and behavioural assays","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-11 01:33:01.229834","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2014,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-05-19","DateCreate":"2023-05-19","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000337878500001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.ejsobi.2014.02.005"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":364472,"PubliDate":2014,"Pagination":"1-7","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"62","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":177144,"SerRR":"European Journal of Soil Biology.
