Abstract: Toxicity assessments on nontarget organisms have largely been addressed using short‐term, single‐species laboratory experiments. Although extremely helpful, these experiments inherently lack many pervasive ecological stressors found in nature. Though a substantial challenge, incorporating these ecological stressors in contaminant studies would shed light on potential synergistic effects. For the world’s leading herbicide, glyphosate, we know …

Abstract: The herbicide glyphosate, sold under a variety of commercial names including Roundup ® and Vision ® , has long been viewed as an environmentally friendly herbicide. In the 1990s, however, after nearly 20 years of use, the first tests were conducted on the herbicide’s effects on amphibians in Australia. The researchers found that the herbicide …
