The main endocrine-regulated processes of crustaceans have been reviewed in relation to
the effects of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). Molting has been shown to be …

The androgenic gland (AG)–a unique crustacean endocrine organ that secretes factors such
as the insulin-like androgenic gland (IAG) hormone—is a key player in crustacean sex …

Nanoplastics (NPs;< 0.1 μm) are speculated to be a bigger ecological threat due to their
predicted wider distribution, higher concentrations, and bioavailability. Primary NPs are …

Sex-determining mechanisms are diverse among animal lineages and can be broadly
divided into two major categories: genetic and environmental. In contrast to genetic sex …

Daphnids (Daphnia magna) utilize cyclic parthenogenesis as a reproductive strategy.
During periods of abundant resources, these organisms reproduce asexually. In response to …

To understand potential risks of major pharmaceutical residues in waters, we evaluated
ecotoxicities of five major veterinary pharmaceuticals, ie, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline …

The water flea Daphnia magna reproduces primarily by cyclic parthenogenesis.
Environmental stimuli that signal a change to adverse conditions induce the organisms to …

Because of their global distribution, persistence, and tendency to bioaccumulate, concerns
about perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are growing …

The issue of endocrine disruption (ED) in invertebrates has generated remarkably little
interest in the past compared to research with aquatic vertebrates in this area. However, with …

The objective of this study was to determine whether vertebrate-type oestrogens have
ecotoxicological effects on a crustacean species. The effects of 17β-oestradiol (E2) …
