چکیده

The giant somata (cell bodies) of neurones in the central ganglia of Limnaea stagnalis (L.) have become material for several lines of neurobiological research. For example, the electrical responses of these cells have been employed in pharmacological studies (Vulfius & Zeimal, 1967; Vulfius et al. 1967; Zeimal & Vulfius, 1967; Jurchenko, Vulfius & Zeimal, 1973; Moreton & Gardner, 1974). Also, the changes in metabolic activity, including RNA synthesis, which accompany the electrical activity of these neurones have been investigated (D'Yakinova et al. 1965). In particular, their large size and relative accessibility have facilitated investigation by microelectrodes of the cellular and nuclear membrane potentials (Veprintsev & Sakharov, 1963; Gerasimov, Kostyuk & Maiskii, 1964; Maiskii & Gerasimov, 1964; Krishtal & Magura, 1970; Jerelova, Krasts & Veprintsev, 1971; Sattelle & Lane, 1972; Sattelle,

Interactions between cyanobacteria and gastropods II. Impact of toxic Planktothrix agardhii on the life-history traits of Lymnaea stagnalis.

Hepatotoxins are frequently produced by many cyanobacterial species. Microcystins (MCs) are the most frequent and widely studied hepatotoxins, with potentially hazardous repercussions on aquatic organisms. As a ubiquitous herbivore living in eutrophic freshwaters, the snail Lymnaea stagnalis (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) is particularly exposed to cyanobacteria. The toxic filamentous Planktothrix aga...

A comparative assessment of physiological and cygotenetical parameters in Lymnaea stagnalis populations from Perstok lake and the inlet of Pripyat river with the highest in Belarus and moderate levels of radioactive contamination have been carried out. In 2004 f γ-activity of snails from river and lake amounted to 39.2 and 567.8 Bq kg, respectively, and β-activity – to 123.4 and 7055 Bq kg resp...
