Abstract:
Abstract Research into and diagnosis of environmental change prior to the introduction of bioindicator methods were linked primarily to apparatus. Drawing attention to the reactions of organisms sensitive to that change and using them in environmental quality control have opened new opportunities for development of a new scientific discipline, known in the literature as bioindication. Bioindication combines several scientific disciplines, including biology, broadly conceived geography, and chemistry. It thus combines in a comprehensible manner apparatus-derived measurements (chemical analysis results) and areas of bioindicator exposure (situation and distance from the emitter), translating these parameters into bioindicators' anatomical and morphological reactions. The development of bioindicator methods progresses rapidly, and - as is usually the case under such circumstances - it is difficult to ensure that they are transparent and that no chaos ensues. In view of the above, it seems necessary to embark on a discussion of these issues and consider compiling lists of most applicable indicator organisms for examination of particular environmental toxins in particular environments.

Abstract:
Bioindicator plants are species that have the capacity to linearly uptake some elements (metal and metalloids) from the growing substrate, thus reflecting their concentration in the soil. Many factors can influence the uptake of these elements by plants, among which is the simultaneous presence of several metals, a common situation in contaminated or natural soils. A novel approach that can be used to validate the bioindication ability of a species growing on a polymetallic substrate is the design of experiment (DoE) approach. The aim of the present study was to apply the DoE in full factorial mode to model the Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cr bioindication capacity of Polygonum aviculare, used as the model plant. The results showed that P. aviculare has the ability to bioindicate Cd and Cr with a linear uptake (from 0.35 to 6.66, and 0.1 to 3.4 mg kg−1, respectively) unaffected by the presence of other metals. Conversely, the uptake of Pb, Cu, and Zn is strongly influenced by the presence of all the studied metals, making their concentration in the plant shoot not proportional to that of the soil. In conclusion, these preliminary results confirmed that the DoE can be used to predict the bioindicator abilities of a plant for several elements at the same time and to evaluate the interactions that can be established between variables in the growing medium and in the plant itself. However, more studies including other plant species are needed to confirm the effectiveness of this method.

Abstract:
The “MGP analysis” created by Dr. J. Aoki in 1983 and the “100 oribatid species” system proposed by Aoki in 1995, both for using oribatid communities as bioindicators, are described herein and compared to some other bioindicator protocols. By using the term “naturalness”, Aoki proposed to explain human impact on a gradient of several environments ranging from urban boulevard trees to intact forests.Although using “naturalness” was a vague concept, the idea might reflect the process of plant succession and changes in oribatid assemblages associated with different seral stages. Therefore, the use of oribatid mites as bioindicators might also be based on succession of the oribatid fauna.

Abstract:
Water contamination is much more common than imagined, because it is practically impossible today to have an ecosystem that has not suffered directly or indirectly from humans. Studies with the aim of genotoxicity and mutagenesis use bioindicators as the basis of tests, the most used are from the Allium ssp family. When we mention cytogenetic damage, the intensity depends mainly on the degree of exposure, quantity, chemical nature and of the possible combinations between the contaminants, also influenced by the characteristics and conditions of the environment in which the organisms considered bioindicators are submitted. The present work has the objective of analyzing the cytotoxic, genotoxic and mutagenic effects induced by contaminating material that cause chromosomal alterations by means of mitotic index analysis using as bioindicator Allium sativum (garlic). The experiment was carried out at the Laboratory of Cytogenetics and Culture of Vegetable Tissues at the University of the State of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT) at the Alta Floresta Campus - MT. The soil was collected and stored separately using 200 grams of each sample with three treatments: surface, 20 cm and 40 cm deep, making a tea with 200 ml of distilled water and then measuring the pH. Using a direct method where the bioindicator is submitted directly to the tea solution, awaiting the emission of roots, and the indirect method, where the bioindicator is submitted first, the stimulation of root formation for 72 hours and then is submitted to contaminating solution. The plates readings to observe the interior of the cell using crushing techniques were performed in 24, 48 and 72 hours of experiment (indirect method) and 24 hours (direct method, also measuring the roots). With the results, we can state that the material used as pollutant (soil sample) has a cytotoxic and genotoxic potential in the bioindicator material, presenting high potential in the cell cycle induction, provoking various chromosomal aberrations.

Abstract:
In this article, the bioindicator properties of Taraxacum officinale, a common plant in urban areas, are studied. The existence of a correlation between the environment and the content of heavy metals in plants determines the use of plants as indicators of natural and anthropogenic landscapes. The existence of a relationship between the amount of heavy metals in the environment and plants determines their use as indicators of pollution of natural and anthropogenic landscapes. Plant organisms are recognized as adequate bioindicators of environmental quality. It is T. officinale that is suitable for identification and has adequate response to changes in environmental conditions. As a bioindicator, plants in urban and industrial areas are used for biomonitoring. In our scientific research, the use of T. officinale species as a bioindicator of atmospheric and soil pollution was investigated for the first time in the conditions of Uzbekistan. In order to determine the accumulation of some heavy metals in the observation areas, the correlation of climate, soil and plant indicators was determined using mathematical analysis methods.

Abstract The circulation of the contents of Cu, Cd, and As was traced in the system of Chondrostoma nasus – Pomphorhynchus laevis – Contracaecum sp. – water – sediments from the Danube River in the Kudelin biotope. New data on the content of the elements examined are presented. The concentrations of the three elements in the materials studied, which included tissues, organs, and parasites of common nase, and water and sediments from the Kudelin biotope, were higher than the limits set forth in Bulgarian and international legislative documents. The bioindicator role of the tissues, organs, and parasites examined was revealed, and the liver of common nase and Contracaecum sp. were good bioindicators for Cd content, while P. laevis was a good bioindicator for As content.

Abstract:
This article shows the genesis of legal regulations in the range of environmental bioindication in national legislation as a result of the implementation of EU solutions. The most important legal act in EU is the FrameworkWater Directive while the Water Law of 2017 in Poland. The main purposeof these legal acts is to maintain a good status, especially ecological status orpotential of water bodies based on bioindication. Changes in this area contributed to detailing and standardizing of the biological indicators of waters,which allow for a more detailed examination of the status of waters and defning the directions of their protection. The assessment of water quality inWarmian-Mazurian Voivodship indicates that approximately 30% of the lakes studied in 2010–2017, had at least good ecological status or potential. In70% of the lakes, primarily phytoplankton (the most sensitive bioindicator)decided on lowering to below good ecological status/potential. Recently, thefnal assessment of the status (ecological plus chemical) of water bodies hasbeen more rigorous due to chemical status based on exceeded content of priority substances in fsh (i.e. in another important bioindicator)

Abstract:
The usefulness of bioindicators to study the state of the environment in different compartments (air, water, and soil) has been demonstrated for a long time. All persistent pollutants can be measured in some form of bioindicator, and numerous organisms are suitable for the biomonitoring purpose. In most of the works on this topic, bioindicators are used to highlight the impact of human activities. Generally, samples collected from polluted areas are compared with samples from an area considered as clean, or samples from areas characterized by different pollution sources are compared with each other. An approach that has not been attempted consists in correlating directly data on environmental quality obtained by bioindicators with parameters measuring the population health. In the present study, the concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn measured by atomic emission spectrometry (ICP OES) in 56 samples of holm oak bark from trees located in urban parks and along streets in a Northern Italy city were related to the data describing the health status of the citizens. The concentrations of some of the 10 trace elements in the bioindicator were found significantly correlated with mortality and morbidity data regarding cardiac and respiratory diseases. The results, although preliminary, show the potential of this approach for implementing strategies aimed for disease prevention and health promotion in urban areas at risk, with the objective of reducing environmental and health inequalities.

Abstract:
Magister Scientiae - MSc (Medical BioSciences)
Environmental pollutants, such as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are a health concern as they can adversely affect animal health by interfering with the normal function of hormones. Oestrogenic EDCs can cause adverse developmental and reproductive effects by mimicking or inhibiting endogenous oestrogens. However, these effects are difficult to detect as they often only manifest long after the initial exposure. Vitellogenin (VTG) is the precursor to the major yolk protein vitellin (Vn) and is produced by egg laying females in response to oestrogens. The VTG gene is also present in males, but silent. Thus, the presence of VTG and Vn in animals, as well as the synthesis thereof in response to oestrogens, can serve a dual purpose in biomonitoring experiments. These proteins can be monitored over a period of time to establish the reproductive cycle of an organism and can also serve as a biomarker for oestrogenic pollutants.

Abstract:
I determined that Corbicula fluminea can be used as a bioindicator on the lower Colorado River. I analyzed tissue samples for trace element concentrations. Selenium and arsenic were elevated above U.S. background levels at 89% and 83% (respectively), of the sites. Selenium concentrations were significantly higher in backwaters than at river sites. Selenium in clams predicts the contamination state of a site 78% of the time. There is a strong correlation between selenium concentrations in clams and selenium concentrations in vascular aquatic plants (r²) and carnivorous birds (r²). The white morph of C. fluminea is more prevalent at northern and backwater sites than the purple morph. Selenium levels in clams at several sites exceeded levels that have been shown to result in teratogenicity for birds in laboratory studies. Birds that eat clams in the study area could have increased risk of lowered reproductive success.

O objetivo deste estudo foi registrar as principais espécies predadoras das famílias Syrphidae e Asilidae, e avaliar se as mudanças de ambiente provocadas pela conversão de um sistema de monocultura de B. decumbens para um silvipastoril pode alterar a diversidade, abundância e constância desses predadores. Além disso, estudou os aspectos biológicos e comportamentais envolvidos na criação de S. nigra, de modo a se obter maiores informações para uma produção eficaz e viável do predador, para uma futura utilização em programas de manejo integrado de cigarrinhas das pastagens. Para a primeira parte da pesquisa, os insetos foram coletados por meio de armadilha Malaise, a quais foram instaladas em monocultura de B. decumbens e em sistema silvipastoril. A abundância de sirfídeos e asilídeos foi determinada com base no número de morfoespécie. Os índices de diversidade e constância foram calculados utilizando as metodologias de Shannon-Wiener e Bodenheimer, respectivamente. Para a segunda parte desta pesquisa, foram avaliados a fertilidade das fêmeas, viabilidade dos ovos, duração e viabilidade do período larval e pupal. Os aspectos comportamentais foram observados por meio da resposta olfativa de fêmeas acasaladas, em olfatômetro do tipo Y. Constatou-se as espécies de sirfídeos e asilídeos candidatas a serem investigadas quanto ao seu potencial de agente de controle biológico das pragas de pastagem. Além disso, pode-se afirmar que as alterações ambientais provocadas pela conversão de um sistema de monocultivo de B. decumbens para o silvipastoril alterou os índices ecologicos avaliados para a família Syrphidae, a qual pode ser usada como bioindicadora. Ademais, os adultos, ovos e pupas de S. nigra são possíveis de se manter em laboratório; no entanto a viabilidade larval foi baixa, desta forma é necessário novos estudos para diminuir essa baixa viabilidade. Observou-se preferência significativa do predador S. nigra pelos odores provenientes das ninfas em contraste com o ar limpo. Mostrando que as fêmeas de S. nigra são atraídas pelas ninfas da cigarrinha das pastagens .
The main predatory species of families Syrphidae and Asilidae were registered and the environmental changes caused by the conversion of a monoculture system of B. decumbens into a silvipastoral one were analyzed to verify whether they would alter the predators´ diversity, abundance and constancy. Further, the biological and behavioral aspects involved in the breeding of S. nigra were investigated to obtain in-depth information for effective and viable predator production for future use in spittlebug integrated management programs. Initially, insects were collected by malaise traps installed in a B. decumbens monoculture system and in a silvipastoral system. Syphidae and Asilidae abundance was determined by calculating the number of morphospecies, whilst diversity and constancy indexes were calculated by Shannon-Wiener and Bodenheimer methodologies, respectively. The second section comprised the assessment of females´ fertility, egg viability, duration and viability of the larva and pupa stages. Behavioral aspects were observed by olfactory response of mated females with a Y-type olfactometer. It was revealed Syphidiae and Asilidae species with capacity to biological control agents of pasture pests. Results revealed that environmental changes caused by the conversion of B. decumbens monoculture system into silvipastoral system altered the ecological indexes evaluated for the family Syrphidae, which may be used as a bioindicator. Although adults, eggs and pupae of S. nigra may be kept in the laboratory, however larval viability was low, in this way new studies are necessary to reduce this low viability

Abstract:
O Complexo Estuarino-Lagunar de Cananéia-Iguape (CELCI) é um importante sistema que apresenta diferenças na estrutura hídrica entre o setor sul, Cananéia e o setor norte, onde se encontra a cidade de Iguape que possui o canal artificial do Valo Grande pelo qual desvia grande afluxo de água doce do rio Ribeira de Iguape para o Mar Pequeno. Ao longo do Ribeira de Iguape se desenvolveu a agricultura com culturas de arroz, café e banana e a atividade mineradora, principalmente de ouro, zinco e chumbo. O desvio do canal gerou grande aporte de água doce no sistema, alterando as características físico-químicas e tróficas, escoando junto, resíduos das atividades produtoras. Nos estudos de impactos dessa região é comum a utilização de matrizes como sedimento e água para verificar a saúde do sistema estuarino, assim o objetivo do trabalho é estudar a Spartina alterniflora como espécie bioindicadora de contaminação por elementos traço e metais pesados no setor sul e norte do CELCI. A gramínea se desenvolveu fisiologicamente bem nos dois setores e apresentou diferenças na concentração dos elementos K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cd e Hg entre as partes vegetais subterrânea (raiz e rizóides) e aérea (folha e caule) e entre os setores norte e sul. O macro-elemento K concentrou principalmente na parte aérea, o Ca e os elementos traço Fe e Zn se concentram na área radicular. Os metais pesados Cr, Pb, Cd e Hg super concentraram na região radicular da gramínea mostrando essa estrutura como importante e complexa área vegetal de estudo devido sua estrutura em forma de cabeleira e está em contato direto com o sedimento. Os metais pesados encontrados principalmente na área radicular tiveram concentrações maiores no setor norte do CELCI, na cidade de Iguape, que historicamente sofreu com a abertura do canal artificial e as atividades produtoras. A Spartina se mostrou como potencial espécie vegetal bioindicadora de contaminação por elementos traço por ser uma planta halófita, perene, fixa em contato direto com sedimento e a água do corpo hídrico estuarino refletindo assim, as alterações ambientais principalmente na área radicular da planta.
The Cananéia-Iguape estuarine-lagoon complex (CELCI) is an important system that presents different water structures between north (Iguape) and south (Cananéia) sector. In the north sector is Iguape city wich has the Valo Grande artificial channel where diverts large influx of freshwater from the Ribeira de Iguape river to Mar Pequeno. Along the Ribeira de Iguape culture of rice, coffee and banana and mining activity, particularly of gold, zinc and lead developed. The diversion channel has generated large amount of freshwater in the system, altering the physico-chemical and trophic characteristics, flowing together waste-producing activities. In studies of impacts in this region is common the use arrays as sediment and water to check the health of the estuarine system, so the aim of this work is to study the vegetal Spartina alterniflora a bioindicator of trace elements and heavy metals in the North and South sector of CELCI. The smooth cordgrass physiologically well is developed in these two sectors presented differences in the element concentrations of K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cd and Hg between the plant parts, found in aboveground (leaves and stem) and belowground (roots) as well between the North and South sectors. The macro-element Ca were concentrated in the aboveground area, the Ca and the trace elements Fe and Zn were concentrated in the belowground parts. The heavy metals Cr, Pb, Cd and Hg were super concentrated in the belowground parts showing the structures as an important plant areas of study because roots structure are in form of hair and in direct contact with sediment. The heavy metals found mainly in the belowground area had higher concentrations in the northern sector, Iguape city, which historically has suffered with the opening of the artificial canal and productive activities. The smooth cordgrass showed to be a potential vegetable bioindicators of trace elements contamination because it is halophyte, perennial, fixed in contact direct with sediment and body water of the estuarine, thus reflecting the environmental changes especially in the plant roots area.

Resumo: O uso frequente e indiscriminado de agrotóxicos na agricultura tem acarretado a presença de resíduos nos alimentos e contaminação ambiental, principalmente em países com grande potencial agrícola, como o Brasil. Para avaliar a presença de resíduos de agrotóxicos no ambiente, as abelhas e os produtos apícolas têm sido apontados como potenciais bioindicadores, podendo ser utilizados para monitorar grandes áreas devido às longas distâncias percorridas. Assim sendo, o potencial do uso do pólen apícola como bioindicador da contaminação ambiental por agrotóxicos foi avaliado neste trabalho. Para isso, foi necessário desenvolver e validar um método analítico para determinação de multirresíduos em pólen apícola, utilizando cromatografia a gás acoplada à espectrometria de massas sequencial (GC-MS/MS). Para definição das condições ótimas de extração, dois processos foram avaliados: o QuEChERS, e o de partição com acetonitrila. O QuEChERS mostrou ser mais eficiente (melhor seletividade e eficiência de extração) e foi validado para a determinação de 27 agrotóxicos. Estudos de sorção mostraram que os agrotóxicos são fortemente sorvidos no pólen. Nas amostras provenientes do apiário experimental na Embrapa em Jaguariúna/SP não foram encontrados níveis quantificáveis dos agrotóxicos pesquisados, enquanto a presença de resíduos de agrotóxicos nas amostras fornecidas por apicultores de Ribeirão Preto/SP foi confirmada e quantificada. Os métodos desenvolvidos e validados mostraram ser eficientes e podem ser utilizados no monitoramento ambiental quanto à presença de resíduos de agrotóxicos. Os resultados confirmam o potencial do pólen apícola como bioindicador de contaminação ambiental por agrotóxicos
Abstract: The extensive use of pesticides in agriculture crop has led to the presence of residues in food and environmental contamination, especially in countries with great agricultural potential, such as Brazil. To assess the presence of pesticide residues in the environment, honeybees and bee products have been mentioned as potential bioindicators, which can be used to monitor large areas due to long distances travelled. Therefore, the potential use of bee pollen as a bioindicator of environmental pesticides contamination has been reported in this work. For this it was necessary to develop and validate an analytical method for the determination of multiresidues in pollen, using gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). For the definition of optimum extraction conditions, two procedures were evaluated: QuEChERS, and partition with acetonitrile. The QuEChERS proved to be more efficient (improved selectivity and extraction efficiency), and was validated for the determination of 27 pesticides. Sorption studies showed that pesticides are strongly sorbed in pollen. Unquantifiable levels of pesticides surveyed were found in the samples from experimental apiary at Embrapa in Jaguariúna/SP, while the presence of pesticide residues in samples provided by apiarists from Ribeirão Preto/SP was confirmed and quantified. The validated analytical methods proved to be efficient and can be used in environmental monitoring for the presence of pesticide residues. The results confirm the potential of bee pollen as a bioindicator of environmental pesticides contamination

Abstract:
The studies presented in this paper, were aimed at testing, in order to extend the applicability of the methodology for approaching biomonitoring methods to new domains of activity by using bioindicators. The proposed and applied methodology aimed to add new complex studies, some of that not previously used, combining macroscopic, microscopic and biochemical analyses of selected and exposed bioindicators compared to control bioindicators maintained under standardized conditions in the climate chamber. The change of the appearance and of the biochemical composition of plants exposed to various pollutants are compared to those not exposed. The plants selected as bioindicator�s were: Nicotiana tabacum; Petunia hibryda, Ricinus communis and Trifolium pratense. The experimental tests were carried out in three areas and the comparative evaluation of the air quality and of the biological effects generated were highlighted in direct correlation between the level of air pollution and the response of the tested bioindicators. In synthesis, under these conditions, it was concluded that the newly tested plants in these case studies, Ricinus communis and Trifolium pratense, could be used to monitor air quality in the vicinity of industrially polluted areas.

Abstract:
Fish communities are an important component of aquatic systems and are good bioindicators of ecosystem health. Land use changes in the Midwest have caused sedimentation, erosion, and nutrient loading that degrades and fragments habitat and impairs water quality. Because most small wadeable streams in the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) have a relatively small area of their watersheds located within park boundaries, these streams are at risk of degradation due to adjacent land use practices and other anthropogenic disturbances. Shifts in the physical and chemical properties of aquatic systems have a dramatic effect on the biotic community. The federally endangered Topeka shiner (Notropis topeka) and other native fishes have declined in population size due to habitat degradation and fragmentation in Midwest streams. By protecting portions of streams on publicly owned lands, national parks may offer refuges for threatened or endangered species and species of conservation concern, as well as other native species. This protocol describes the background, history, justification, methodology, data analysis and data management for long-term fish community monitoring of wadeable streams within nine HTLN parks: Effigy Mounds National Monument (EFMO), George Washington Carver National Monument (GWCA), Herbert Hoover National Historic Site (HEHO), Homestead National Monument of America (HOME), Hot Springs National Park (HOSP), Pea Ridge National Military Park (PERI), Pipestone National Monument (PIPE), Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (TAPR), and Wilson's Creek national Battlefield (WICR). The objectives of this protocol are to determine the status and long-term trends in fish richness, diversity, abundance, and community composition in small wadeable streams within these nine parks and correlate the long-term community data to overall water quality and habitat condition (DeBacker et al. 2005).
