Join Us at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry's 44th Annual Meeting in Louisville

Dear Carleigh,

The Stone team is headed to Louisville, Kentucky to participate in the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry's (SETAC) 44th Annual Meeting where we will present research on endangered species evaluation methods for emerging crop protection products and using metabolic rate estimates in the endangered species assessment process.

If you’re also attending, join us for our presentations or contact Dwayne Moore, Scott Teed, or Marco Propato directly to set up a time to connect.

We look forward to seeing you in Louisville!

Description: The development of dsRNA pesticide products appears promising, particularly when addressing pests with high resistance to chemical pesticides that rapidly disseminate pesticides within colonies (e.g., bee hives), and where important ecosystem services are being delivered by non-target organisms. A new pesticide product for use on potatoes is in the process of being registered, but how does this product fit into the EPA Endangered Species risk assessment paradigm?

Session: Surrogacy in Endangered Species Pesticide Risk Assessment: Strategies for Testing and Conceptual Applications

Authors: Scott Teed (Presenter), Michael Winchell, Stone Environmental; Miriam Frugis, Greenlight BioSciences Inc.

Date/Time: Tuesday, November 14, 2023 (10:40 am)

Location: L015/L019 (Kentucky International Convention Center)

Description: Knowledge of habitat and dietary preferences of endangered and threatened species may help further refine predicted dietary requirements and associated exposure estimates for more accurate risk conclusions. An updated literature search was conducted to compile field metabolic rates in birds, mammals and reptiles and assess allometric relationships.
