“…Stone et al [8] showed that carabids inhabiting chronically polluted environments were less tolerant to additional environmental stressors (pesticide or starvation) compared with those from uncontaminated areas. On the other hand, longterm exposure to high levels of Ni enabled C. pardalina to cope with other stressors, including short-term exposure to the OP dimethoate [11]. Our results are in agreement with those obtained by Stone et al [8], because exposure to a mixture of the two chemicals resulted in a significant positive interaction observed for beetle survival, indicating a higher effect than expected from the simple sum of effects of single toxicants.…”

“…Near smelters, Ni concentrations in soils may exceed 6,500 mg/kg [9], and a Ni concentration as high as 22,000 mg/kg was found in smelter‐contaminated soil by Everhart et al [10]. Some insects, such as the South African beetle Chrysolina pardalina , feeding on a Ni‐hyper‐accumulating plant species, Berkheya coddii , have adapted to the Ni‐rich environment [11]. However, Ni can be toxic for soil invertebrates, such as earthworms [12,13] and springtails [14].…”

Terrestrial organisms in the field often are exposed to a combination of stress factors of various origins, but little is known about interactions between different types of stressors. In the present study, we demonstrate the results of a study on interactions between Ni, chlorpyrifos (CPF), and temperature in the ground beetle, Pterostichus oblongopunctatus. The results revealed that all factors, and their interactions, influenced life-cycle parameters of the beetles (survival and reproduction). Significant three-factor interactions were found for effects on beetle survival, indicating that the combined negative effect of Ni and CPF was temperature dependent. In addition, significant effects of body mass were found: The survival of beetles treated with CPF and the reproduction of beetles exposed to Ni were positively correlated with body mass. All studied endpoints were affected by temperature. The results indicate that understanding interactions between temperature and toxicants, as well as among chemicals themselves, is essential for proper ecological risk assessment.

“…One of the most convincing ecological explanations for hyperaccumulation of Ni and other toxic metals appears to be related to a defensive role against herbivores or pathogens (Boyd and Martens, 1992;Pollard and Baker, 1997;Hanson et al, 2003;Prasad, 2005). A few insect species, also endemic to ultramafic environments, have evolved in parallel with these plants and have thus become specific hosts to hyperaccumulators (MesjaszPrzybylowicz and Przybylowicz, 2001;Augustyniak et al, 2002Augustyniak et al, , 2007. The existence of such closely adapted insects suggests that Ni-hyperaccumulation can benefit the plants for their defense against herbivores.…”

“…Unlike this, carboxylesterase (CarE) and glutathione reductase (GR) activity did not change after pesticide application (Augustyniak et al 2005). Similarly, in Chrysolina pardalina, a leaf beetle living on nickel accumulating plants in South Africa, after a single dimethoate application, AChE activity was diminished while GR activity remained unchanged (Augustyniak et al 2007).…”

Cross tolerance in beet armyworm: long-term selection by cadmium broadens tolerance to other stressors

et al. 2017

Long lasting exposure of animals to stressing factor may lead to the selection of population able to cope with the stressor at lower cost than unexposed individuals. The aim of this study was to assess whether 130-generational selection of a beet armyworm to cadmium in food might have induced tolerance also to other stressors. The potential tolerance was assessed by means of unspecific stress markers: HSP70 concentration, DNA damage level, and energy budget indices in L5 larval instars of beet armyworm. The animals originated from Cd-exposed and control strains exposed additionally in a short-term experiment to high/low temperature or pesticide-spinosad. The application of the additional stressors caused, in general, an increase in the levels of studied parameters, in a straindependent manner. The most significant increase was found in HSP70 level in the individuals from the Cd-strain exposed to various spinosad concentration. Therefore, multigenerational contact with cadmium caused several changes that enable the insect to survive under a chronic stress, preparing the organism to the contact with an additional, new stressor. This relationship may be described as a sort of cross tolerance. This may, possibly, increase the probability of population survivorship and, at the same time, decrease the efficiency of pesticide-based plant protection efforts.
