Intersexuality in aquatic invertebrates: Prevalence and causes
Science of the Total Environment, 2017This review is the first assembling information on intersexuality in aquatic invertebrates, from freshwater to estuarine and marine environments. Intersex is a condition whereby an individual of a gonochorist (separate sexes) species has oocytes or distinct stages of spermatogonia, at varying degrees of development, within the normal gonad of the ...

A review of environmental epigenetics in aquatic invertebrates
Marine Pollution BulletinAquatic ecosystems face significant challenges due to increasing human-induced environmental stressors. Recent studies emphasize the role of epigenetic mechanisms in the stress responses and adaptations of organisms to those stressors. Epigenetics influences gene expression, enabling phenotypic plasticity and transgenerational effects.

Steroids in aquatic invertebrates
Ecotoxicology, 2007Steroid molecules are present in all invertebrates, and some of them have established hormonal roles: this is the case for ecdysteroids in arthropods and, to a lesser extent, for vertebrate-type steroids in molluscs. Steroids are not only hormones, they may also fulfill many other functions in chemical communication, chemical defense or even digestive ...

The tolerance of oxygen by aquatic invertebrates
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1955Abstract Aquatic invertebrates were found to be affected to very different extents by water saturated with oxygen; some species were quickly killed, others were slowly injured, while yet others showed no ill effects in the course of weeks.

Chemoreception in Aquatic Invertebrates
2020This chapter focuses on chemoreception in aquatic invertebrates, animals that, by the nature of their habitat, sense molecules in solution, as is typical of vertebrate taste. Many aquatic invertebrates have a well-developed chemical sense that enables the animals to monitor changes in the chemical composition of the aqueous environment in which they ...

Migration of Aquatic Invertebrates
2004Aquatic invertebrates are dependent on dispersion and migration for sustainable populations. Especially in running waters, these processes play a dominant role. Ephemeral water bodies have probably triggered dispersion phenomena in the evolutionary past.

The involvement of metallothionein in the development of aquatic invertebrate
Aquatic Toxicology, 2012The many documents on metallothioneins (MTs) in aquatic organisms focus especially on their use as biomarkers in environmental monitoring programs, but there are a few papers that summarize the physiological role of MTs in aquatic organisms especially in their development.

Infertility in male aquatic invertebrates: A review
Aquatic Toxicology, 2012As a result of endocrine disruptor studies, there are numerous examples of male related reproductive abnormalities observed in vertebrates. Contrastingly, within the invertebrates there have been considerably less examples both from laboratory and field investigations.

Uptake and depuration of pharmaceuticals in aquatic invertebrates
Environmental Pollution, 2012The uptake and depuration of a range of pharmaceuticals in the freshwater shrimp (Gammarus pulex) and the water boatman (Notonecta glauca) was studied. For one compound, studies were also done using the freshwater snail Planobarius corneus. In G. pulex, bioconcentration factors (BCFs) ranged from 4.6 to 185,900 and increased in the order moclobemide ...
