Article Synopsis
- Ecuador's wetlands are affected by ash from volcanic eruptions, impacting aquatic ecosystems, but the effects on aquatic life remain unclear.
- Researchers studied the 2016 Cotopaxi volcano ash using Daphnia magna to measure acute and chronic effects on offspring production and mortality rates.
- Results showed significant toxicity at varying ash concentrations, highlighting the need for more investigation into volcanic ash toxicity in Ecuador's aquatic environments.*
