Glyphosate Exposure Risks For Iberian Peninsula Wildlife

A 2026 literature review compiled by Catarina Jota Baptista synthesizes research on the herbicide glyphosate. The work evaluates exposure levels and potential effects on wildlife in agricultural, urban, and aquatic environments across the Iberian Peninsula. It addresses a research gap concerning real-world ecological consequences.

Use Cases

• Identify taxa-specific effects like oxidative stress or liver/kidney damage mentioned in reviewed studies.
• Analyze geographic and habitat-specific exposure risks for wildlife in agricultural and urban areas.
• Compare laboratory-based findings with field observations to highlight research gaps for Iberian wildlife.
• Investigate cited evidence for endocrine disruption in reptiles or genotoxicity in fish from the literature.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific geographic region (Iberian Peninsula) and its wildlife.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license in 2026.

Limitations

• The dataset is a literature review (BIB file), not primary observational or experimental data.
• Very small scale at 140.9 KB, indicating a limited collection of references or summary text.
• Lacks quantitative data tables, row counts, or measurable variables for statistical analysis.
