Abiotic conditions (eg, temperature and pH) fluctuate through time in most marine
environments, sometimes passing intensity thresholds that induce physiological stress …

▪ Abstract Molecular chaperones, including the heat-shock proteins (Hsps), are a ubiquitous
feature of cells in which these proteins cope with stress-induced denaturation of other …

Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco) toxicological assessments because they
offer ethical, cost‐effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a ubiquitous feature of cells in which these proteins cope
with stress‐induced denaturation of other proteins. Among the different families of Hsps, the …

Environmental stressors are assessed through methods that quantify their impacts on a wide
range of metrics including species density, growth rates, reproduction, behaviour and …

During the dam discharging period, the strong aeration of high-speed water leads to the
supersaturation of total dissolved gas (TDG) in the downstream water, which causes gas …

This paper deals with the expression of the biomarker hsp70 in the liver and kidney of the
freshwater fish Oreochromis niloticus following exposure to the herbicide oxyfluorfen (Goal) …

To investigate the use of stress proteins hsp60 and hsp70 as sublethal biomarkers for
contaminant exposure in sediments, two infaunal (Ampelisca abdita, estuarine; …

Lake Baikal, a unique habitat for a great number of endemic species, is the largest
freshwater reservoir in the world which is still largely unaffected by anthropogenic pollution …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous industrial compounds found in almost
every component of the terrestrial and marine ecosystem. Most of the PCB congeners bind …
