Cadmium and glyphosate jointly compromise sperm function, fertilization, and early development in Prochilodus magdalenae [PDF]
Cadmium (Cd) and glyphosate (Gly) are widespread aquatic contaminants known to impair reproductive function in freshwater fish. This study evaluated the effects of Cd, Gly, and their combined exposure on sperm quality and fertilization success in ...

Sublethal Effects of Cadmium on the Osmoregulatory and Acid-Base Parameters of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at Various Times. [PDF]
Background. Cadmium (Cd) can contaminate aquatic environments as a result of anthropogenic activity. Cd accumulates quickly in the tissues of fish and has the potential to affect their physiology, including osmoregulation and acid‐base balance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the sublethal effects of Cd on the osmoregulation and ...

River connectivity and climate behind the long-term evolution of tropical American floodplain lakes. [PDF]
We present a multi‐proxy approach on short sedimentary cores form two neotropical flood plain lakes associated with the Magdalena River, Colombia, to study temporal variation in diatoms, sediment geochemistry and climate. We proposed that lake hydrological connectivity to the Magdalena River is a main factor controlling lake long‐term responses to ...
