Elevated temperature and pollution are common stressors in freshwater ecosystems. We
study cellular stress response to acute warming in Anodonta anatina (Unionidae) from sites …

The impact of the hydropower plants (HPPs) on the aquatic life is expected, but the
biochemical markers of ecotoxicity have not been investigated in relation to HPP proximity …

Abstract The Great Pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis (Gastropoda, Hygrophila) is a wide-
spread freshwater gastropod, being considered as a model organism for research in many …

Gastropod mollusks have achieved an eminent importance as biological indicators of
environmental quality. In the present study, we applied a multibiomarker approach to …

Environmental pollution with toxic trace metals is of great concern for the environment and
for public health. Here we assess the response of the shredder caddisfly Calamoceras …

Metal detoxification is crucial for animals to cope with environmental exposure. In snails, a
pivotal role in protection against cadmium (Cd) is attributed to metallothioneins (MTs). Some …

Freshwater ecosystems are exposed to multiple anthropogenic stressors including chemical
pollution and warming that can affect health of the resident organisms and their responses to …

Hydropower plants (HPPs) are equipped with reservoirs that can accumulate the toxic
effluents and disturb the water flow of rivers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

L'utilisation de l'énergie atomique à des fins pacifiques (production d'électricité, mesures
