This research aims to determine how aquatic insect body size influences their sensitivity to metal toxicity.
Examined late instars of aquatic insects
Analyzed susceptibility to aqueous metals considering body size
Evaluated the role of phenology in toxicity predictions
Larger aquatic insects showed increased resistance to metal toxicity
Toxicity models enhanced by incorporating insect size progression
Findings suggest body size is a significant predictor of metal sensitivity
