Pesticide Residues in Aquatic Invertebrates
1973The basic processes governing formation of pesticide residues are common to all organisms. Separate consideration of residues in aquatic invertebrates is therefore a rather arbitrary choice, but a practical one for purposes of literature review.

The tolerance of oxygen by aquatic invertebrates
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1955Aquatic 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. Many of the animals studied lived equally well in fully aerated and in one-fifth aerated water, only a few species ...

Habitat Selection by Aquatic Invertebrates
1972Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on habitat selection by aquatic invertebrates. It explains why animals are found in certain habitats and not in others, and it is restricted to a consideration of habitat selection by marine and freshwater invertebrates as revealed by experimental analysis.

Aquatic invertebrates in riverine landscapes
Freshwater Biology, 20021. Riverine systems consist of a mosaic of patches and habitats linked by diverse processes and supporting highly complex communities. Invertebrates show a high taxonomic and functional diversity in riverine systems and are in several ways important components of these systems.

Pesticide Residues in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates
1983Over the past 6 years a great number of fish and aquatic invertebrates from experimental and commercial fishponds have been analyzed for the presence of organochlorine insecticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Invariably, all specimens contained DDE and PCBs and in many instances also DDT, DDD and BHC isomers.

Volume regulation in aquatic invertebrates
Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1981AbstractVolume regulation in marine and estuarine invertebrates is usually assessed by the extent of restoration of original weight following a salinity transfer. However, volume regulation also includes the limitation of osmotic water movements. Mechanisms of volume regulation include (1) reduction of permeability of the body wall to water, reducing ...

Metabolic Dormancy in Aquatic Invertebrates
1991One major approach used by invertebrates for coping with extreme environmental conditions is to enter states of metabolic and developmental dormancy. The possession of a latent or resting stage is a common occurrence in the life cycle of organisms inhabiting inconsistent or ephemeral environments, and this phenomenon has been a source of long-standing ...

Pesticide Residues in Aquatic Invertebrates
2012Aquatic invertebrates are defined as invertebrate animals that depend on aquatic ecosystems or moist environments for at least a portion of their lifecycle. Occasionally, taxonomists also include the semiaquatic invertebrates, which inhabit shores and vegetation surrounding aquatic environments.
