Compared with control and ; for different stages based on the Stepwise Behavior Response Model: period before the first significant decrease of behavior strength (SD-BS) occurred (20% [13]); the first SD-BS until the first adjustment (20% behavior strength increase); the first adjustment to toxic effects; ing from the time when behavior strength of D. magna is lower than 0.2 and there is no recovery. AChE activity data of immovable individuals in different treatments were not shown in the table.
