An article titled "Cellular and individual toxicity of diflubenzuron for the chronic exposure in Daphnia magna: focus on oxidative stress, chitin content, and reproductive outcomes" by Gunay Karimova, a 2016 bachelor's graduate in History and Geography from Khazar University, currently a doctoral student at Korea University and Korean Government Scholarship recipient, has been published in the "Ecotoxicology" journal (2025, Volume 34, Issue 4). Rovshan Abbasov, a faculty member of the Geography and Environment Department at Khazar University, is a co-author of the article.

The article investigates the harmful effects of insect growth regulators such as diflubenzuron (DFB) on water fleas (Daphnia magna), a key aquatic organism in water ecosystems, at environmentally relevant concentrations.

It should be noted that the "Ecotoxicology" journal, where the article was published, is indexed in "Scopus," "Web of Science (Science Citation Index Expanded - SCIE)," and "PubMed" databases.
