Screening sensitive testing endpoints for Cr(VI) responses in earthworms using cross-species cumulative distributions.
Cr(VI) is a priority soil contaminant, yet current earthworm toxicity assessments still rely largely on single-species apical endpoints. In this study, we systematically compared the sensitivity of 12 earthworm species, representing epigeic, endogeic and anecic life forms, to Cr(VI) using four response indicators spann...
