Hallo,
hier ein neuer report an die EFSA. Neben allgemeinen Infos zur Exposition von Reptilien gegnüber Pflanzenschutzmitteln sind auch viele Daten zu Größe und Gewicht von Reptilien enthalten.

Introduction
Reptiles may be exposed to pesticides by various oral routes including feeding on contaminated food, taking solid formulations as food or grit or drinking contaminated water. They may also be exposed directly during pesticide applications (e.g. by being over-sprayed or by inhalation) or by coming into contact with the contaminated environment (e.g. contaminated soil, plants or surface water).
In order to estimate the potential dietary exposure of reptiles it is necessary to obtain estimates of daily food intake. The recent scientific opinion of the PPR panel on risk assessment for birds and mammals (EFSA 2008) recommends the use of allometric equations to estimate the daily energy requirements and hence food intake of birds and mammals for which this information is not known.
The aims of this project were to:
* Provide information useful for risk assessment on a range of European species of reptile that might be at risk of exposure.
* To develop allometric equations for daily energy expenditure (DEE) and daily water flux for reptiles (similar to those developed for birds and mammals) that take account of information published since the reviews of Nagy and Peterson (1988) and Nagy et al. (1999).
* Identify other possible routes of exposure.
The findings for these are presented along with some recommendations about how they may be used and additional research that would assist in exposure assessment.
