Imposex in endemic volutid from Northeast Brazil (Mollusca: Gastropoda)
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008 Imposex is characterized by the development of masculine sexual organs in neogastropod females. Almost 120 mollusk species are known to present imposex when exposed to organic tin compounds as tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT). These compounds are
