This study explores the use of individual-based population models to assess chemical risks and ecological effects. It discusses constant versus time-variable exposure, laboratory-to-field extrapolation, and mechanistic effect modeling. The integration of Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) models enables the analysis of life history contributions to population dynamics across different species and ecosystems. Combining DEB with process-based effect models allows for the straightforward propagation of toxicity effects from individual to population levels. The research is part of the Long-range Research Initiative and ModNanoTox project funded by the European Union.

Conclusion • DEB models allow for the standardized development of IBMs • This facilitates the analysis of life history contributions to population dynamics across species and ecological systems • When combined with process based effect models, the DEB integration with IBMs enable a straightforward propagation of population and community level effects from individual level toxicity testing
