Heat shock proteins (HSPs) encompass both extrinsic chaperones and stress proteins.
These proteins, with molecular weights ranging from 14 to 120 kDa, are conserved across …

In many ecosystems, the zooplankton community has been pressured simultaneously by
microplastic pollution and alterations resulting from global climate changes. The potential …

Hormesis is the response of organisms to a mild stressor resulting in improved health and
longevity. Mild heat shocks have been thought to induce hormetic response because they …

Nowadays there is a high concern about the combined effects of global warming and
emerging environmental contaminants with significant increasing trends of use, such as …

Pristine engineered nanomaterials (NMs) entering the aquatic environment become
'aged'during their lifetime via chemical, physical and/or biological process. Therefore …

The effect of chronic exposure of freshwater cladoceran Daphnia magna to low,
environmentally relevant concentrations ie 4 μgL− 1 of ibuprofen (a nonsteroidal anti …

Thermal pollution leads to short-term heat shock in aquatic invertebrates; however, the
modulation of tolerance and life history of these invertebrates by thermal stress varies …

Background Daphnia species reproduce by cyclic parthenogenesis involving both sexual
and asexual reproduction. The sex of the offspring is environmentally determined and …

Plastic pollution and changes in oceanic pH are both pressing environmental issues. Little
emphasis, however, has been placed on the influence of sex and gametogenesis stage …

Temperature is one of the most important variables influencing organisms, especially in the
intertidal zone. This work aimed to test physiological and molecular intraspecific differences …
