Imposex in Thais gradata as a biomarker for TBT contamination on the southern coast of Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
, 2010 Thais gradata samples were collected from six locations along the southern shores of Peninsular Malaysia and analyzed for imposex incidence and organotin (butyltins (BTs), including tributyltin, dibutyltin, and monobutyltin, and phenyltins (PTs ...

Biomarkers: a strategic tool in the assessment of environmental quality of coastal waters [PDF]
, 2007 Ecosystems are under the pressure of complex mixtures of contaminants whose effects are not always simple to assess. Biomarkers, acting as early warning signals of the presence of potentially toxic xenobiotics, are useful tools for assessing either ...

Oxidative stress indicators in populations of the gastropod Buccinanops globulosus affected by imposex [PDF]
, 2015 The gastropod Buccinanops globulosus is commonly used as a bioindicator of tributyltin (TBT) contamination due to its high imposex incidence in maritime traffic areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate both oxidative stress in B.

Hydrobia ulvae imposex levels at Ria de Aveiro (NW Portugal) between 1998 and 2007: a counter-current bioindicator? [PDF]
, 2010 Imposex expression in prosobranch gastropods has been widely used as a biomarker of tributyltin (TBT) pollution. Estuaries have been described as the most affected areas by this problem since they usually enclose the main TBT sources—ports, dockyards ...

Ultrastructural studies of oogenesis in Bolinus brandaris (Gastropoda: Muricidae)
Scientia Marina, 2004 Ultrastructural studies of oogenesis in Bolinus brandaris are described. Although the initial phase of oogenesis is common to most animal species, vitellogenesis can be considered a species-specific characteristic.
