Short description: Recent reports show that xenobiotics in the environment are capable of interfering with the normal endocrine function in a variety of animals. Detailed information about the effects on and mechanisms of action in invertebrates has only been obtained from a few cases, although they represent more than 95 % of the known species in the animal kingdom. The existing evidence for ED in invertebrates from laboratory and field studies are summarized as an update and amendment of the EDIETA report from 1998. Conclusions about the scale and implications of the observed effects are drawn and further research needs are defined.
