Prey body size mediates the predation risk associated with being "odd" [PDF]

, 2014
Despite selection pressures on prey animals to maintain phenotypically homogeneous groups, variation in phenotype within animal groups is commonly observed.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Calcium limitation in Daphnia magna [PDF]

Journal of Plankton Research, 2000
The role of ambient calcium concentrations on survival, moulting, growth and egg produc- tion was assessed in the cladoceran Daphnia magna. A threshold for survival was found in the range 0.1-0.5 mg Ca l-1, even when ionic strength of the medium was kept constant. Accumulated length and length specific dry weight was retarded at low Ca (0.5-1.0 mg Ca l-

The first-generation Daphnia magna linkage map [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2010
Daphnia magna is a well-established model species in ecotoxicology, ecology and evolution. Several new genomics tools are presently under development for this species; among them, a linkage map is a first requirement for estimating the genetic background of phenotypic traits in quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies and is also very useful in assembling

The Individual and Combined Effects of Warming and Atrazine on Lithobates pipiens Phenotypes: Implications for Frog Declines

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate class globally. Climate change, agrochemicals, and/or pathogens and parasites are implicated in contributing to amphibian declines, either singly or in combination. We investigated individual and combined effects of elevated temperatures and atrazine (2.0 μg/L) on Lithobates [formerly Rana] pipiens

Synthesizing the role of epigenetics in the response and adaptation of species to climate change in freshwater ecosystems [PDF]

, 2018
Freshwater ecosystems are amongst the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. Currently, climate change is one of the most important drivers of freshwater transformation and its effects include changes in the composition, biodiversity and functioning of ...

Generating Tagged Micro‐ and Nanoparticles of Poly(ethylene furanoate) and Poly(ethylene terephthalate) as Reference Materials

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We successfully developed poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF) nanoparticles and microparticles, covalently tagged with Alexa Fluor 633 or Alexa Fluor 647, using both mechanical and solvent‐based approaches. The particles displaying hydrodynamic diameters between 200 and 700 nm, exhibited long‐term colloidal stability ...
