Species: Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos)
Chemical Toxicity Endpoint Type Endpoint Description Endpoint Value Sample Size Life Cycle Stage Study Duration Type
DDE (4,4'-) TOX-REPRO - behavior behavior of offspring; latency in response to approach a maternal call and distance travelled from a frightening stimulus no effect 4 adults/dose; 141-175 offspring/dose Adult 3-6 mo Toxicity Factor Datasets
DDE (4,4'-) TOX-EXP IND - accumulation mean and range of DDE egg concentrations 0.021 - 0.028 ppm wet wt @ 0 ppm; 5.8 (0.32 SE; range 4.28-7.23) ppm wet wt @ 3 ppm 8 eggs/dose Adult 3-6 mo Toxicity Factor Datasets
DDE (4,4'-) TOX-REPRO - behavior responsiveness of offspring to maternal call; % that approached call and % that spent 100% of time near call after initial approach increase @ 3 ppm 4 adults/dose; 148-156 offspring/dose Adult 3-6 mo Toxicity Factor Datasets
DDE (4,4'-) TOX-REPRO - behavior decrease in distance traveled in those offspring that traveled more than 10 cm from a frightening stimulus decrease @ 3ppm 4 adults/dose; 64-71 offspring/dose Adult 3-6 mo Toxicity Factor Datasets
