The environmental impacts of plastic pollution have recently attracted universal attention,
especially in the aquatic environment. However, research has mostly been focused on …

Microplastics are emerging pollutants that have been widely reported in aquatic ecosystems.
Based on the analysis of environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics in global …

Aquatic environments are generally contaminated with nanoplastic material. As a result,
molecular mechanisms for sensitive species like Daphnia are needed, given that …

The water flea Daphnia magna is a small planktonic cladoceran. D. magna has been used
as a model species for ecotoxicology, as it is sensitive to environmental stressors and …

Despite available technology and the knowledge that chemical pollution damages human
and ecosystem health, chemical pollution remains rampant, ineffectively monitored, rarely …

We conducted a systematic review of 124 published articles that investigated the toxicity of
microplastics and nanoplastics to Daphnia magna. This review summarizes studies …

Sex-determining mechanisms are diverse among animal lineages and can be broadly
divided into two major categories: genetic and environmental. In contrast to genetic sex …

Biological early warning systems (BEWSs) monitor the behaviour or physiology of living
organisms as an indirect mechanism to sense local environmental changes, and have …

Genomic resources are increasingly being used to improve the production efficiency and
profitability of aquaculture. Crustaceans are a large group of invertebrates that …
