A comment by Dr. Rebecca Rooney and Dr. Jose Luis Rodriguez-Gil has been published in Ecological Applications.
"As a community of authors, reviewers, and editors in ecotoxicological research, we need to do better in enforcing standards of transparency and reproducibility, and we must guard against overreach when offering opinions on regulatory decisions."
Dr. Rooney and Dr. Rodriguez-Gil are calling for greater breadth in our ecotox testing, as we are overly focused on a small number of chemicals when our chemosphere is full of thousands about which we know very little.
The comment, titled "Widespread agrochemicals differentially affect zooplankton biomass and community structure: Comment", is available via open access online.
