Background Vision is a crucial sense for the evolutionary success of many animal groups.
Here we explore the diversity of visual pigments (opsins) in the transcriptomes of amphipods …

Coastal ecosystems, including estuaries, are increasingly pressured by expanding hypoxic
regions as a result of human activities such as increased release of nutrients and global …

The use of transcriptomics data brings new insights and works as a powerful tool to explore
the molecular mode of action (MoA) of transgenerational inheritance effects of contaminants …

Because of their crucial role in ecotoxicological risk assessment, amphipods (Crustacea) are
commonly employed as model species in a wide range of studies. However, despite their …

Environmental hypoxia is becoming more prevalent in aquatic environments due to
eutrophication and climate change. While the ecological and physiological responses of …

So far, ecotoxicological studies used biomarkers of exposure or of effects in order to
investigate the impacts of contaminated areas on biota (Peakall, 1994 [6]). However …

The amphipod Gammarus lacustris has been distributing in the Tibetan region with well-
known uplifts of the Tibetan plateau. It is hence considered as a good model for investigating …
