Contents • What DEB is not … • What is DEB? • Advantages of using DEB Example life-cycle dataset Bindesbøl et al (2007) • copper in Dendrobaena octaedra • size, survival, cocoons over 20 weeks • here, only [Cu] > 80 mg/kg
What DEB is not • DEB is not a population model • DEB is not needed to estimate population effects

What have we achieved? • Integrated effects on survival and reproduction over time … • … for test concentrations and test conditions … • Can we make educated inter- and extrapolations? • longer exposure time, • untested concentrations, • time-varying conditions, • temperature, • food limitation, • other species, • other compounds …
Kooijman (in press) What is DEB? Quantitative theory; ‘first principles’ • time, energy and mass balance Life-cycle of the individual • links levels of organisation: molecule ecosystems Comparison of species • body-size scaling relationships; e.g., metabolic rate Fundamental to biology; many practical applications • (bio)production, (eco)toxicity, climate change, … Kooijman (2000)

What’s the use of DEB? • In-depth interpretation of effects on individual • all endpoints over time in one framework • indicates experimental ‘problems’ • mechanism of action of compound • DEB is essential for inter- and extrapolation • e.g., extrapolation to field conditions • ‘repair’ experimental artefacts • Natural link with different population approaches • simple (e.g., Euler-Lotka and matrix models) • more complex (e.g., IBM’s)
But … • Strong (but explicit) assumptions are made • on metabolic organisation • on mechanisms of toxicity • Elaborate DEB models require strong data • growth, repro and survival over (partial) life cycle • e.g., Daphnia repro protocol extended with size • Almost every analysis raises more questions • difficult to perform on routine basis Interesting point raised by DEB3 … • hatching time and hatchling size can be affected by stress
