Session 2: Scaling-up: From Molecular-Level Effects to Ecosystem-Wide Consequences
Wednesday 11th June - 14:00 - 17:00
Presentation: Scaling-up: From Molecular-Level Effects to Ecosystem-Wide Consequences
Presenters: Tiffany Tsui, Judy Mugambi, Angel Ceballos Ramirez
Presentation Abstract: The biological impact of chemicals in environmental is a story that spans multiple trophic levels. A single molecular initiating event can cause a series of biological events that have ecosystem wide consequences. In ECORISC, there are projects covering this whole chemical cascade, with each one bringing new perspectives and challenges. Omics approaches may bring mechanical understanding of individual pollutants but can lack environmental relevance. Whereas studying ecological effects can be limited in its throughput. Furthermore, focusing on the individual organism can link chemical exposure and adverse effect to bridge the gap between molecular and ecosystem changes. Here we discuss value of all these different tools and how they have been used throughout the cohort. Ultimately, we demonstrate the necessity to cover all these bases for a holistic view of ecotoxicology.
