    Abstract

    Studies in ecotoxicology usually focus on a single end point (typically mortality, growth, or reproduction) at a standardized exposure time. The exposure time is chosen irrespective of the properties of the chemical under scrutiny, but should depend on the organism of choice in combination with the compound(s) of interest. This paper discusses the typical patterns for toxic effects in time that can be observed for the most encountered endpoints growth reproduction and survival.Ignoring the fact that toxicity is a process in time can lead to severe bias in environmental risk assessment. We show that especially EC
