The literature on metallothioneins (MT) and metallothionein-like proteins (MTLP) in aquatic
invertebrates is large and increasing, and yet inconsistencies and confusion remain, not …

Over the past decades, comparative physiology and biochemistry approaches have played
a significant role in understanding the complexity of metal bioaccumulation in aquatic …

Engineered nano-sized Cu oxide particles are extensively used in diverse applications.
Because aquatic environments are the ultimate “sink” for all contaminants, it is expected that …

Maternal effects can have dramatic influences on the phenotype of offspring. Maternal
effects can act as a conduit by which the maternal environment negatively affects offspring …

To answer the requirement of the European Commission's Water Framework Directive
(WFD) for biological-effects endpoints to classify the ecological health of aquatic …

Risk assessment of metal-contaminated habitats based on responses in the field is
complicated by the evolution of local, metal-resistant ecotypes. The unpredictability of …

Recently, the abundance of environmental microplastics (MPs) has become a global
paramount concern. Besides the danger of MPs for biota due to their tiny size, these minute …

Antifouling paint particles (APPs) and associated metals have been identified in sediments
around boatyards and marinas globally, but the effects of APPs on benthic organisms are …

The present study was based on assessments of the anti-parasitic activities of the
hematophagous (blood feeding) larvae of malaria vector, Anopheles subpictus Grassi …

Plastic micro litter represents an emerging contaminant as well as a multiple stress agent in
aquatic environments. Microplastics are found even in the remote areas of the world …
