Conteúdo: | Worldwide, various guidelines and directives for human health and the environment aim to reduce anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emission. Forest ecosystems are natural sinks of this element, transferring it from the atmosphere to litter and soil. Millipedes play an important role in litter/soil and may be negatively ffected by contamination. As a pioneering contribution to ecotoxicological test guidelines with millipedes in litter, the present study evaluated food preference of millipedes and mercury toxicity, to prevent interference of food types in toxicity responses. Four food preference tests were performed with Trigoniulus corallinus and Rhinocricus padbergi in relation to leaf morphology, leaf fragmentation level and palatability/nutritional quality. Ecotoxicological effects on these animals were evaluated with increasing concentrations of HgCl2 spiked in litter.
