Seasonal changes of cadmium and copper levels in stem-boring larvae of Agapanthia villosoviridescens (Coleoptera) on salt marshes of the Westerschelde estuary
Hemminga, M.A.; Nieuwenhuize, J.; Poley-Vos, C.H.; van Soelen, J. (1989). Seasonal changes of cadmium and copper levels in stem-boring larvae of Agapanthia villosoviridescens (Coleoptera) on salt marshes of the Westerschelde estuary. Bull. Environ. Contam.

Analyses of heavy metals in insects, including their developmental stages, have been widely used to monitor the penetration of these pollutants in various ecosystems, or have been carried out in attempts to make ecological generalizations regarding transfer and accumulation along food chains. To obtain detailed information on seasonal changes of heavy metal levels in insects and their relation with the seasonally changing conditions in the habitat, the authors studied the time course of cadmium and copper concentrations in larvae of the longhorn beetle Agapanthia villosoviridescens .
