Silver nanoparticles(AgNPs)have become the most frequently used nanomaterials in the world due to their excellent antimicrobial properties.With the increasing use of AgNPs,they are inevitably released into the environment and may produce negative effects on the ecosystem.Invertebrates are an important part of animal taxa.This paper summarized the effects of AgNPs on invertebrates including bioaccumulation,acute toxicity,growth and development toxicity,histopathology,reproductive toxicity,genotoxicity and avoidance behavior,as well as their potential toxicity mechanism.The factors influencing AgNPs toxicity in invertebrates were introduced.Finally,the deficiencies of AgNPs in invertebrate toxicity and the research trend were discussed.This review aimed to provide references for toxicity studies of AgNPs on invertebrates and the safe production and reasonable use of AgNPs.
