From: Low doses of ivermectin cause sensory and locomotor disorders in dung beetles
Ivermectin causes paralysis and death of Scarabaeus cicatricosus.
Mean (±s.e.m.) data showing the effect of different ivermectin doses on ataxia and subsequent death of individuals. Six concentrations of 1.0, 3.3, 10.0, 33.3, 100.0 and 200.0 μg kg–1 dung (fresh weight) plus an untreated control were used. Red dots correspond to the time required to cause ataxia, whereas blue dots indicate the time at which death occurred (data are means ± s.e.m.; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, post-hoc Dunnet’s test).
