Abstract excerpt
To extrapolate credibly from individuals in the laboratory to field populations, it is essential to account for genetic differences in susceptibility to toxic stress and thus incorporate genetic variability into ecological risk estimates. In this study, the distribution of sensitivities across two toxic chemicals among and within field populations of Daphnia magna were used to quantify genetic variability. The...
