This review provides a critical analysis of the biological effects of the most widely used
plasticizers, including dibutyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, dimethyl phthalate, butyl …

In recent years, the number of publications on nano-and microplastic particles (NMPs)
effects on freshwater organisms has increased rapidly. Freshwater crustaceans of the genus …

An artificial freshwater for the culture of zooplankton was developed. It guarantees the same
successful long-term rearing of stock cultures and high fitness of the animals as natural …

Activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was used as an effect criterion in toxicity tests with
Daphnia magna. In the first part of the work, the conditions for the use of LDH activity in …

Bromide ion is widely used as a tracer to study water and solute transport because it does
not adsorb to negatively charged soil minerals. Therefore is moves approximately as fast as …

In this work we investigated the possibility of using the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
activity in Daphnia magna homogenates, both in in vivo and in vitro conditions, as a specific …

Second in our Ecotoxicology series, this book presents a timely discussion of theoretical and
practical issues involved in the study of ecotoxicology. By concentrating on the key issues …

Low levels of glyphosate based herbicide induced significant negative effects on the aquatic
invertebrate Daphnia magna. Glyphosate herbicides such as brands of Roundup, are known …

Recently there has been evidence that contaminants other than organophosphate and
carbamate pesticides may inhibit the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) …

Literature on local genetic differentiation in freshwater zooplankton populations is reviewed.
The island-like nature of limnetic habitats creates opportunities for local genetic …
