1. Species groups and test species in current ERA of pesticides

Fish cover different ecological niches, but mainly as predators they play an important role for community dynamics in most surface waters. In the early days of ecotoxicology, dead fish (besides dying birds) were the most obvious sign of problems caused by chemicals in the environment. They have been used as test species for more than three decades. However, testing in pesticide ERA is performed with very few indicator species (mainly trout, carp, zebra fish and fat-head minnow) under laboratory conditions. Due to their size and predatory efficiency, fish are only rarely used in semi-field studies.

Aquatic invertebrates have been used as indicators for water quality for more than 100 years (Saprobic-Index (Kolkwitz and Marsson 1909), RIVPACS (Wright 2000)). Usually, Daphnia magna and one additional aquatic invertebrate (e.g. Chironomid larvae) are used to evaluate the risk for aquatic invertebrates (European Commission 2013).As primary producers, algae play an important role in most aquatic ecosystems. Taxonomically, it is a diverse group. Generally, a growth inhibition test on a green algae is required (European Commission 2013). In the present study we regard Cyanophyceae as algae as it is also current practice in pesticide risk assessment. The protection goal regards populations or functional groups and not individual species (EFSA PPR Panel 2010, 2013).

Higher aquatic plants (aquatic macrophytes) occur in high densities and biomass in many limnic habitats. In the ERA of pesticides floating plants (i.e. species of the genus Lemna) are usually tested, but a test with a plant rooting (Myriophyllum sp.) in the sediment has also been developed (Feiler et al. 2004).

The diversity of aquatic micro-organisms is high; they perform important ecosystem functions and provide essential services. Currently, the evaluation of pesticides effects on aquatic microorganisms is not explicitly required for authorization (European Parliament and European Council 2009). However, due to their important role in the aquatic nutrient and organic matter cycle, the impairment of their ecosystem functions certainly belong to “unacceptable effects on the environment” aimed to be prevented by Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 (EC 2009) (EFSA PPR Panel 2010).

Amphibians are globally under considerable threat (Stuart et al. 2004) without one single factor being exclusively responsible. The majority of European amphibians are protected by Council Directive 92/43/EEC ("Habitat Directive"; European Council 1992). Available data on the effects of pesticides on amphibians should be submitted for pesticide registration according to the new data requirements for pesticide authorization (European Commission 2013). However, commonly agreed upon risk assessment guidelines are not yet available, which may explain the low number of studies with amphibians and pesticides found in the literature.

Birds and mammals are handled differently than other terrestrial organisms in the pesticide risk assessment. Clearly, the protection goal is the population, but individuals must be protected as well (EFSA PPR Panel 2010). The risk assessment for birds and mammals is based on a combination of laboratory test data, sometimes supported by ecological information and field observations (e.g. for identifying focal species for a specific crop).

Bees have enormous ecological and economic importance for agriculture as pollination is probably the best example of the monetary valuation of an ecosystem service (Hassan et al. 2005). This function can be performed by a wide-range of organisms (most often insects like butterflies or bees, but also birds or bats). Until recently, however, usually one species, the honey bee (Apis mellifera), has been scrutinized for the purpose of assessing the risk of pesticides (European Parliament and European Council 2009). Pollinating taxa require special protection, which has been highlighted in recent EFSA opinions (EFSA PPR Panel 2010, 2012). Furthermore, pesticide exposure has been related to negative impacts on bees (Lu et al. 2001, Desneux et al. 2007, Henry et al. 2012Tapparo, 2012 #102).

The group of non-target arthropods (NTAs), mainly consisting of insects and arachnids, is highly diverse both taxonomically and in terms of their function. Likewise, the migration ability can differ extremely between species, depending on whether they can fly (e.g. a lace-wing: Chrysoperla carnea) or not (e.g. a predatory mite: Typhlodromus pyri). Today, up to ten tests are more or less regularly performed in pesticide risk assessment (Candolfi et al. 2000). Any NTAs risk assessment starts with just two species (the predatory mite Typhlodromus pyri and the parasitoid Aphidius rhopalosiphi) in tier 1. In the case that these tests indicate concern, at higher-tiers it is possible to refine the risk assessment based on local or regional species in a field study representing the intended use (Candolfi et al. 2000, de Jong et al. 2010). In addition, in NTAs higher-tier studies (e.g. a field test with predatory mites), recovery within one season/year is already the decisive criterion of whether application of a certain pesticide at a specific time may be permitted or not.

With regard to soil invertebrates, the most important groups are Oligochaeta (earthworms and enchytraeids), Collembola (springtails), and Acari (mites) due to their influence on nutrient cycling and soil properties, or their diversity (mainly the arthropods) (Brussaard 2012). Other groups such as Nematoda have rarely been studied. With the exception of earthworms they are not regularly used in field or monitoring studies. Micro-arthropods (i.e. mainly springtails or mites) are an important group of soil invertebrates in terms of diversity, biomass and ecological relevance (Turbé et al. 2010). The nematodes are by far the most abundant and diverse (taxonomically and ecologically) group of soil invertebrates, including saprophagous, fungivorous and bacteriovorous, predatory, or parasitic species. Saprophagous earthworms (in temperate regions mainly species of the family Lumbricidae) and, to a lesser extent, potworms (Enchytraeidae), are the most important taxa in soil ecotoxicology due to their ecological relevance and (often) high sensitivity towards chemicals (Paoletti 1999, Römbke and Egeler 2009).

The numbers of taxonomic units of soil microbes is extremely high (e.g. Dequiedt et al. 2011, Griffiths et al. 2011). Various methods are available for assessment, usually using the indigenous microbial community or some of their functions (Philippot et al. 2012). Like in the aquatic compartment, testing of individual “species” is not common as the protection goal is usually the function and not the structure of these communities.

Plants are the only group in which more than one species has to be regularly tested (usually 6 to 10, almost always crop species (OECD 2006b, 2006a)). There is evidence that on average the sensitivity of crop and comparable wild species does not differ considerably (e.g. Carpenter and Boutin 2010).

Reptiles are a widely distributed and often highly endangered group of vertebrates. Available data on pesticide effects should be submitted for pesticide registration, but no agreed risk assessment approach is yet available (European Commission 2013).

2. Literature Search

We performed a search in the data bases Web of Science (http://apps.webofknowledge.com) and Scopus (http://www.scopus.com.scopeesprx.elsevier.com) using the key words given in Table S1. To also cover information that is not formally published (“grey literature”) including reports, theses, working papers, etc., we searched Scirus (http://www.scirus.com) as well. However, almost no ”grey literature” entered the selection of studies for the final review because most studies were found to have been either also formally published or presented quality issues. The time span of the search covered the the period from the starting date of the data bases to December 2011. Newer publications were added on a case by case basis.

2. Experimental Setup and Modes of Action

Regarding the number of concentrations tested, for the aquatic compartment the majority of studies dealt with more than one concentration in addition to the control. In contrast, most of the field studies in the terrestrial compartment were performed with just one concentration (often the maximum application rate (MAR), which can differ according to crop type, country or the year in which the study was performed). The number of replicates per concentration was rather low for the aquatic compartment (only 27% used four or more replicates). Likewise, most of the terrestrial studies used three or four replicates.

With regard to the study duration, aquatic invertebrates and algae were most often investigated for durations between two weeks and two months (Table S2). Few studies spanned four months up to one year and only two studies lasted more than one year. For aquatic microbes, all investigations were shorter than two months, presumably due to the short generation times of these taxa. For the terrestrial taxa, 40% of all studies lasted longer than four months, including 19% with a duration of more than a year. When comparing the different taxa groups, there were astonishingly small differences in test duration between the groups, as opposed to the aquatic environment. Even microbes, having usually very short generation times, were tested as long as non-target arthropods or other soil invertebrates.

The majority of the aquatic studies investigated were conducted under semi-field conditions (51 out of 106), mainly in outdoor pond mesocosms, while 34 were conducted in the laboratory and 21 in the field, most often as enclosures in lakes. In contrast, most of the terrestrial studies were conducted in the field (52 out of 76), followed by laboratory (18, 16 of those with microbes) and semi-field studies (5) and one greenhouse study.
