Challenges of ecotox
Some 100,000 man-made chemicals For animals alone, >1 million species described Complex dynamic exposure situations Species interact dynamically in ecosystems
We cannot (and should not) test all permutations!

Learn from fate modellers
Make an idealisation of the system how much biological detail do we minimally need …
– to explain how an organism grows, develops and reproduces– to explain effects of stressors on life history– to predict effects for untested situations– without being species- or stressor-specific

Organisms obey mass and energy conservation– find the simplest set of rules ...– over the entire life cycle ...– for all organisms (related species follow related rules)– most appropriate DEB model depends on species and question

mechanisticmodel forspecies B
Work needed
For the individual level– select relevant species and appropriate DEB models– adapt/develop model code, allow time-variable inputs– collect and analyse relevant existing test data
Evaluate– are DEB models useful?– what are limitations?– what are major gaps in knowledge?– what test protocol is most useful?

What makes community different?– dynamic interactions between species– less or more sensitive to toxicants?

Community level
Food web models can become rather complex …– results depend heavily on modelling choices– difficult to parameterise– focus on furry animals …– little general insight gained– not useful for generic RA

Work needed
For the community level– specify interactions between the species– code a community with DEB populations– simulations for various scenarios
Evaluate– what’s different at the community level?– more or less effect?– correspondence to e.g., mesocosm?– identify major gaps in knowledge

a community

Wrapping up
Time is of the essence!– an organism is a dynamic system …– that interacts dynamically with others …– in a dynamic environment …– with dynamic exposure to chemicals
NOEC, EC50 etc. are useless …

Wrapping up
Mechanistic models essential for the individual– to extract time-independent parameters from data– to extrapolate to untested dynamic conditions– to increase efficiency of risk assessment– learn from fate and toxicokinetics modellers …
Integrate models into a simple community– study how interactions affect toxicant responses– study recovery of the community

Advantages of using DEB as basis– well-tested theory for individuals– mechanistic, dynamic, yet (relatively) simple– deals with the entire life cycle– not species- or chemical-specific– small but well-connected international DEB community

Wrapping up
This project tries to deliver “proof of concept”– can DEB serve as a general platform?– can simple mechanistic community models help RA?– how can we modify test protocols?– where are the major stumbling blocks?
