“…These data reinforce previous studies (Laskowski and Maryanski, 1993), indicating that transfer of metals in food chains doesn't depend only on storage forms (i.e. bioavailability) of metals in prey, but the physiology of the predator also plays a vital role (Scheifler et al, 2002). The percent of Cd burden lost through the larval exuviae of predatory beetles increased with the fly ash application rates in soil (Table 3).…”

“…Efficient regulation of Cd by predatory beetles, even at high soil amendments with fly ash, led them to maintain comparatively low Cd concentrations in their bodies (Scheifler et al, 2002; ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T Wang et al, 2016).

The present study investigates the extent of biotransfer and bioaccumulation of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) from fly ash amended soil in mustard (Brassica juncea)-aphid (Lipaphis erysimi)-beetle (Coccinella septempunctata) food chain and its subsequent implications for the beetle. The soil was amended with fly ash at the rates of 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40% (w/w). Our results showed that the uptake of Cd, Pb and Zn from soil to mustard root increased with the increase in fly ash application rates, but their root to shoot translocation was relatively restricted. Increase in chlorophyll content and dry mass of mustard plant on treatments ≥ 20% even at elevated accumulation of Cd (1.67 mg kg -1 ), Pb (18.25 mg kg -1 ) and Zn (74.45 mg kg -1 dry weight) in its shoot showed relatively higher tolerance of selected mustard cultivar to heavy metal stress. The transfer coefficient (TC 1 ) of Cd from mustard shoot to aphid was always > 1, indicating that Cd biomagnified in aphids at second trophic level. But, there was no biomagnification of Cd in adult beetles at third trophic level. Zinc accumulation was 2.06 to 2.40 times more in aphids than their corresponding host shoots and 1.26-1.35 times more in adult beetles than their prey (aphids) on which they fed. Lead was only metal whose TC was less than 1 at both second and third trophic levels. The elimination of Cd via honeydew of aphids was most efficient as the ratio of metal in honeydew to aphid (ranging from 0.21 to 0.26) was higher than the Pb (0.16 to 0.20) and Zn (0.07 to 0.09). The statistically consistent (p > 0.05) biomass and predation rate of predatory beetles indicated that all levels of soil amendments with fly ash did not have any lethal or sub-lethal effects on beetles.

“…Heliövaara and Väisänen (1990) found Cd concentrations twice as high in the diprionid Neodiprion sertifer compared to its food. In an experimental food chain with contaminated food, Scheifler et al (2002) demonstrated that the transfer of Cd to larvae of the carabid beetle Chrysocarabus splendens was very low, indicating a very effective regulation capacity. However, in their study Cd concentrations in highest exposed groups were higher (0.63 and 0.53 mg/kg in larvae and adults, respectively) than those found in control groups (0.13 and 0.01 mg/kg in larvae and adults, respectively).…”

Cadmium in insects after ash fertilization

Ash fertilization of forests returns nutrients to forest ecosystems and has a positive effect on soil pH, but it also may elevate Cd concentrations of forest biota. Cadmium concentrations of some forest insects (Formica ants, carabids and Coleopteran larvae from decaying wood) were investigated in southern Finland, where two plots were fertilized with wood ash, while two other plots represented unfertilized control plots. In ants, mean Cd concentration was 3.6 ± 1.4 mg/kg, with nest workers having significantly higher concentrations than workers trapped in pitfall traps. Concentrations at fertilized and unfertilized plots were similar. In carabid beetles, the average Cd concentration of Carabus glabratus was 0.44 ± 0.36 mg/kg, with no significant difference between control plots and fertilized plots. In another carabid beetle, Pterostichus niger, mean Cd concentration was higher at fertilized plots compared to control plots. We conclude that the variation of Cd concentrations in the insects studied is more efficiently controlled by species-specific differences than fertilization history of the forest floor.
