Estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural hormones, synthetic
compounds or industrial chemicals that mimic estrogens due to their structural similarity with …

In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on the different sexual
systems and sex-determining mechanisms in bivalves, with a focus on the various …

There is only one exception to strict maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in
the animal kingdom: a system named doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI), which is found in …

The crisis of biodiversity we currently experience raises the question of the impact of
anthropogenic chemicals on wild life health. Endocrine disruptors are notably incriminated …

Transcriptomics, high-throughput assays, and adverse outcome pathways (AOP) are
promising approaches applied to toxicity monitoring in the 21st century, but development of …

This review is the first assembling information on intersexuality in aquatic invertebrates, from
freshwater to estuarine and marine environments. Intersex is a condition whereby an …

The current study investigated the effect of environmentally relevant mixtures of estrogens at
levels representative of receiving waters on the metabolome of the Sydney rock oyster …

Clock genes and environmental cues regulate essential biological rhythms. The blue
mussel, Mytilus edulis, is an ecologically and economically important intertidal bivalve …

Trioecy, the co-occurrence of males, females and hermaphrodites in natural populations, is
a relatively common sexual system in plants, but is rare and poorly understood in animals …

The capability of selected pharmaceuticals to act as nontraditional endocrine disrupting
chemicals in the environment has been poorly documented. The widely prescribed …
