How do genetic variation and evolutionary change in critical species affect the composition
and functioning of populations, communities and ecosystems? Illuminating the links in the …

The increased overexploitation of freshwater ecosystems and their extended watersheds
often generates a cascade of anthropogenic stressors (eg, acidification, eutrophication …

Nanoplastic pollution is widespread and persistent across global water systems and can
cause a negative effect on aquatic organisms, especially the zooplankter which is the …

The importance of the cladoceran Daphnia as a model organism for ecotoxicity testing has
been well-established since the 1980s. Daphnia have been increasingly used in …

Daphnia offer a variety of benefits for the study of epigenetics. Daphnia's parthenogenetic
life cycle allows the study of epigenetic effects in the absence of confounding genetic …

Epigenetics is the study of mitotically or meiotically heritable changes in gene function that
occur without a change in the DNA sequence. Interestingly, epigenetic changes can be …

Due to the rapid advent in genomics technologies and attention to ecological risk
assessment, the term “ecotoxicogenomics” has recently emerged to describe integration of …

Salinization of coastal freshwater ecosystems is already occurring in some regions of the
world. This phenomenon raises serious concerns on the protection of coastal freshwater …

Toxicological responses of an organism are disturbances of function. This as a starting point
we review and discuss issues that we consider important in applying functional genomics to …

Transgenerational inheritance of environmentally induced epigenetic marks can have
significant impacts on eco-evolutionary dynamics, but the phenomenon remains …
