Biomonitoring of the genotoxic potential (micronucleus assay) and detoxifying activity (EROD induction) in the River Dadou (France), using the amphibian Xenopus laevis [PDF]
Within the framework of a general survey of the water quality of the river Dadou (Tarn, France), different physicochemical parameters were measured and an inventory of the fish population was made along the water course, around the Rassisse dam.With the ...

Ecotoxicologie et bioindication
Les démarches d’évaluation environnementale sont en pleine expansion, particulièrement en réponse à des directives européennes telles que la DCE ou REACH. La mise en place de ces directives et leurs déclinaisons nationales génèrent de très nombreux travaux de recherche faisant appel à différentes disciplines : chimie, biologie, écologie, écotoxicologie,

The effects of Triclosan on the metabolism of developing Sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) larvae [PDF]
The aquatic environment represents the final sink for many chemicals, including bactericidal agents. Among them Triclosan (TCS) has been shown to affect the thyroid system of teleost. Thyroid hormones are involved in the control of metabolism, so changes

Cadmium transport in sediments by tubificid bioturbation: An assessment of model complexity [PDF]
Biogeochemistry of metals in aquatic sediments is strongly influenced by bioturbation. To determine the effects of biological transport on cadmium distribution in freshwater sediments, a bioturbation model is explored that describes the conveyor-belt ...
