This review of 19 chemical approaches used in assessing sediment quality are classified
into empirical, mechanistic and sediment quality indices (SQI) groups. Empirical sediment …

Fluctuating asymmetry, the random deviation from perfect symmetry, is a widely used
population-level index of developmental instability, developmental noise, and robustness. It …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

Abstract The Greater Sydney (Australia) region is dissected by eleven major estuaries
comprising a wide range of sizes, sediment and contaminant types, while the catchments …

The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of fluctuating asymmetry in Pelophylax
ridibundus populations inhabiting the River of Sazliyka (southern Bulgaria), polluted with …

ABSTRACT Hypothesis: Fluctuating asymmetry (FA)–random deviations from perfect
symmetry that are used as a measure of developmental stability–is an effective indicator of …

We investigated the impact of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with different sizes, shapes and
coatings on the function of a freshwater experimental ecosystem. We hypothesized that the …

This review summarizes and analyzes data on the threespine stickleback Gasterosteus
aculeatus L. of the White Sea, which is currently the most abundant fish in the region and …

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), ie small, non-directional deviations from perfect symmetry in
morphological characters, increases under genetic and/or environmental stress. Ecological …
