Legacy effects of four decades of insecticide applications on contemporary riverine benthic macroinvertebrates
Abstract
Insecticides have known effects on riverine benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) assemblages. However, there is limited understanding of the legacy effects of insecticides, particularly in watersheds that received decades of historical applications. From 1952 to 1993, over 6.2 million ha in the province of New Brunswick (Canada) was treated with one to twelve different insecticides including dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), aminocarb, …
