Trace metal contamination: Transfer and fate in food chains of terrestrial invertebrates
MI Dar, ID Green, FA Khan - Food Webs, 2019 - Elsevier
Anthropogenic activities have resulted in the wide spread contamination of soils with trace
metals. Invertebrates form a key link between the soil and trophic levels. Hence, an …

Do microplastic particles affect Daphnia magna at the morphological, life history and molecular level?
Microplastic particles are ubiquitous not only in marine but also in freshwater ecosystems.
However, the impacts of microplastics, consisting of a large variety of synthetic polymers, on …

Nanoplastics pose a greater effect than microplastics in enhancing mercury toxicity to marine copepods
Z Bai, Y Zhang, L Cheng, X Zhou, M Wang - Chemosphere, 2023 - Elsevier
Due to human activities, high abundances of nano/microplastics (N/MPs) concurrent with
metal pollution have become a serious problem in the global marine environment. Because …

Copper induces apoptotic cell death through reactive oxygen species-triggered oxidative stress in the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus
The copepod, Tigriopus japonicus is an important model for toxicity testing. However, no
attempt has been made in analyzing the effect of toxicants at the level of the ROS-mediated …

Effects of triclosan (TCS) on fecundity, the antioxidant system, and oxidative stress-mediated gene expression in the copepod Tigriopus japonicus
Triclosan (TCS) is an antimicrobial agent that has been widely dispersed and detected in the
marine environment. However, the effects of TCS in marine invertebrates are poorly …
