Transcriptome of the freshwater amphipod Gammarus pulex hepatopancreas
So far, ecotoxicological studies used biomarkers of exposure or of effects in order to investigate the impacts of contaminated areas on biota (Peakall, 1994 [6]). However, although these results are important in the ecotoxicological risk assessment, biomarkers are very specific and only provide information on the biological processes or physiological pathways targeted by the biomarkers experime...
متن کاملGammarus pulex (L.) feeding bioassay--effects of parasitism.
Taylor et al. (1993) described a pollutant bioassay based upon a change in the rate at which Gammarus pulex (L.) consumes a novel food source (eggs of the brine shrimp Anemia salina) when the animals are stressed by exposure to a pollutant. The bioassay is rapid and non-destructive, and produces results with less variation than reported using conventional leaf-feeding bioassays. However, it is ...
متن کاملHeliospora n.g. and Rotundi^ta n.g., Gregarines of Gammarus pulex
THE gregarines of Gammarus pulex L. have long been known, in fact they were some of the earliest of these Sporozoa to be observed (Text-figs. 1-3). However,.so far, no adequate description has been given of the gametes and spores which are the most important stages from the systematic point of view. Lady Muriel Percy, who worked in this Department from 1925 to 1929, helped in the investigation ...
متن کاملCopper and zinc detoxification in Gammarus pulex (L.).
To negate the toxicity of labile intracellular metals, some aquatic organisms partition metals into specific subcellular locations for detoxification, namely the soluble heat-stable cytosol and insoluble metal-rich granules. The aim of the present study was to characterise these subcellular storage sites in the freshwater crustacean Gammarus pulex (Linnaeus) following in situ exposures upstream...
متن کاملHow Neoliberalism Is Shaping the Supply of Unhealthy Commodities and What This Means for NCD Prevention
Alcohol, tobacco, and unhealthy foods contribute greatly to the global burden of non-communicable disease (NCD). Member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) have recognized the critical need to address these three key risk factors through global action plans and policy recommendations. The 2013-2020 WHO action plan identifies the need to engage economic, agricultural and other relevant...
