Shugart & Associates , Oak Ridge , USA 1 Joana Luísa Pereira University of Aveiro 2 Michiel Daam Universidade Nova de Lisboa As Guest Editors of the Special Issue (SI) “Emerging advances and challenges in pesticide ecotoxicology” for the Springer's journal Ecotoxicology, we cordially invite your contribution to this SI based on your expertise in this area. Ecotoxicology emerged following the publication of Rachel Carson's “Silent Spring” in 1962 as the - Published online: 20 March 2017 © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2017 It is the Editorial Policy of Ecotoxicology to periodically publish a Special Issue to communicate to a broad constituency of the scientific community timely information about an important topic in the environmental sciences. A Special Issue consists of assembled papers that both identify and describe the status and extent of our knowledge concerning new or existing ecotoxicological problems but also that enhances our understanding of the effects of exposure with possible linkages to ecological consequences. Within the discipline of ecotoxicology, considerable attention is directed towards the adverse impact of exposure to tailored chemicals (in particular pesticides) with an increased apprehension on the broadening effects for non-targeted organisms and habitat disruption associated with their usage. In this regard, an invitation to submit papers for a proposed Special Issue in Ecotoxicology entitled “Emerging advances and challenges in pesticide ecotoxicology” is announced. Invitation to submit manuscript abstracts for a special issue in Ecotoxicology (Springer) environmental branch of the field of toxicology. Its major focus was on investigating the impacts of chemicals on individuals with the goal of integrating exposure to effects on populations, communities, or ecosystems. Ecotoxicology has evolved in the past decades, resulting in several new concepts, trends, and methodologies. The ecotoxicological assessment of pesticides has also followed these new developments stimulated by the unique properties of such contaminants that are intentionally designed and released into the environment to affect specific biological targets. This SI invites papers dealing with one or more new advances or challenges in pesticide ecotoxicology, including, but not limited to: 1. More ecological approaches, e.g. extrapolating pesticide effects from the laboratory to the field. 2. Influence of species interactions and environmental parameters on the effects of pesticides. 3. The choice of representative test species and life stages, e.g. to adhere to the new EU data requirements for ecological pesticide risk assessments. 4. Spatial-temporal extrapolation of ecotoxicological research, e.g. the influence of environmental conditions on pesticide ecotoxicity. 5. New sub-lethal test parameters, e.g. biomarkers, ecotoxicogenomics. 6. The influence of climate change on pesticide ecotoxicity. 7. Pesticide mixture toxicity. 8. Landscape and ecosystem ecotoxicology. 9. Toxicokinetics/dynamics in pesticide ecotoxicology. 10. Population and food-web modelling. 11. Getting more out of old data (e.g. meta-analysis, traitbased analysis, multivariate statistical analysis). Completion of Peer Review for submitted manuscripts by October 14, 2017 Submission of a revised manuscript by November 15, 2017 On-line publication of accepted manuscripts by January 1, 2018 Publication of hardcopy of SI in: Ecotoxicology volume 27 ( 2 ) 2018 .
