Ratios between available endpoints for algae: growth rate inhibition (ErC50) and corresponding endpoints: area under the curve-AUC/ “biomass” (EbC50) or yield (EyC50). Violin plots (in blue) and boxplots (orange boxes) display the distribution of ErC50 values divided by their corresponding EbC50 values (left; N = 177) or EyC50 values (right; N = 52). The endpoints are from different algae species from the list of endpoints of the EFSA conclusions of various herbicides and fungicides (for more details, see Additional file 1: Table S1). The boxplots illustrate the 25th, 50th (dark blue line) and 75th percentiles; whiskers illustrate the 10th and 90th percentiles; means are shown as red dots. For statistical analyses, see Table 1
