摘要

The comparison of species sensitivity to toxicants is classically derived from differences in the concentration-response relationships of a sensitive trait such as reproduction. We tested this general concept by conceiving the concentration-response relationship as a plastic response to a range of discrete environments. Using a demographic model based on life-cycle experiments for two nematode species (Plectus acuminatus and Heterocephalobus pauciannulatus) we related copper-induced plasticity in reproduction to changes in fitness, which was defined as the population growth rate. Daily reproduction (n_t) in P. acuminatus was more sensitive to copper (EC20 = 48 μM) than in H. pauciannulatus (EC20 = 138 μM). However, the relationship between plasticity in n_1 and fitness showed that for both species, fitness was reduced with 5%. These findings imply that P. acuminatus and H. pauciannulatus are equally susceptible to toxicant-induced changes in n_1 despite their differences in EC20 values for reproduction. It may be concluded that differences in susceptibility of species to toxicants are not only determined by the effect on sensitive traits but also by the relationship between plasticity in this trait and fitness.
