Different metabolic pathways and requirements can lead to imbalances in the biochemical
composition, eg, between prokaryotes and eukaryotes and between heterotrophic and …

Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the reproductive biology of marine cladocerans.
Marine cladocerans are seasonally abundant and widely distributed in continental shelf …

Chironomus tentans is a representative of a group of insects known as the midges, which
are widely distributed in freshwater sediments during their larval stage of development …

Daphnia magna is used widely as a standard ecotoxicological indicator organism, and
protocols exist for its use in assessing the toxicity of substances under acute and chronic …

Rapid growth could significantly reduce methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in aquatic
organisms by causing a greater than proportional gain in biomass relative to MeHg (somatic …

Photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) has received widespread attention
due to its high toxicity, in which the interfacial electrons generation and transfer on the …

The rationale and conceptual basis for the use of sediment toxicity assays are discussed in
relationship to their use in sediment evaluations employing faunal surveys, toxicity assays …

Cladocerans store energy for reproduction and survival in the form of triglyceride droplets.
The amount of storage in adults is lowest just after egg production and increases during the …

Not all stress is stressful; instead, it appears that stress in the environment, below the
mutation threshold, is essential for many subtle manifestations of population structures and …

The purpose of this study was to identify mechanisms of competitive ability among
planktonic Clodocera. We used three species (Daphnia magna, Daphnia galeata, and …
