Organisms exposed to suboptimal environments incur a cost of dealing with stress in terms
of metabolic resources. The total amount of energy available for maintenance, growth and …

The validation of a suite of cellular biomarkers for biomonitoring studies necessitates a good
knowledge of the meaning of these early responses to environmental stress in terms of …

Organisms exposed to suboptimal conditions face an a priori cost of combating stress in
terms of metabolic resources. The energy available for maintenance, growth, and …

Energy balance is a fundamental requirement of stress adaptation and tolerance. We
explore the links between metabolism, energy balance and stress tolerance using aquatic …

Two of the questions raised in the validation process of biomarkers are their relevance in the
identification and discrimination of environmental perturbations, and the influence of …

Abstract Brest harbor (Bay of Brest, Brittany, France) has a severe past of anthropogenic
chemical contamination, but inputs tended to decrease, indicating a reassessment of its …

The chapter will summarize and critically review metabolic responses to environmental
stress and stress effects on energy budgets in mollusks. Metabolic adaptations to …

Chemical and biological monitoring of pollution in the aquatic environment is essential to
assess the quality of surface waters. Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) have been …

Scope for growth (SFG) is a method of assessing the whole-animal physiological response
to sublethal stress induced by pollutants. It has been applied widely in small-and large-scale …

In order to understand the role of metabolic regulation in environmental stress tolerance, a
comprehensive analysis of demand-side effects (ie changes in energy demands for basal …
