Natural populations in polluted areas are possibly subjected to selective pressures for an
increased resistance to toxicants. This can result in the evolution of resistance, which may …

Identifying physiological adaptation (or absence of it, which we define as stress) to
environmental variables requires an explicit link with effects on Darwinian fitness. This can …

In light of the current rising mean temperatures and fluctuations in temperature extremes
involved in global climate change, a cause-and-effect understanding of the temperature …

Toxicity tests were conducted with the marine copepod Acartia tonsa to assess the effects of
dietary metal exposure. The diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana was cultured with Ag, Zn, Cu …

Recent trends in the study of metal contamination in the sea are reviewed. Aspects of
contamination which are considered include the input of metals to the sea and their …

The present study evaluated the impacts of predicted seawater acidification and Hg
pollution, when stressors were acting alone and in combination, on the polychaete Hediste …

This up-to-date compilation from international experts covers the tolerance of living
organisms to toxic contaminants. It examines the degree of generalization of tolerance at …

Toxicity of copper, lead and mercury to the nematode Diplolaimella spec 1 is studied.
Mortality responses obtained demonstrate high resistance to heavy metals. Population …

Copper is more toxic to all life stages of the copepod Tisbe than cadmium. The most
sensitive life stage of Tisbe to both copper and cadmium is the one-day-old nauplius. The …

Rapid toxicity assessment is an important goal in aquatic toxicology. Ecologically important
processes that can be assessed more rapidly than mortality or fecundity, while maintaining …
