• Interactions between effects of environmental chemicals and natural stressors: a review. (2010, background): “For example, physico-chemical properties of soil, water and air have influence on the bioavailability of toxicants, meaning that the same total environmental concentration of a toxicant causes different effects in different exposure scenarios (e.g. Newman and Unger, 2003).”
• Quantitative investigation of the mechanisms of microplastics and nanoplastics toward zebrafish larvae locomotor activity. (2017, background): “Toxicological experiments often evaluate growth because it reflects important molecular and cellular responses as one easily measurable variable (Newman, 2010).”
• Plant functional types: an alternative to taxonomic plant community description in biogeography? (2000, background): “Ecotoxicology is concerned with the effects of pollutants on ecosystems (Brouwer et al., 1990; Moriarty, 1993; Romble and Moltmann, 1995; Newman, 1998).”
