Genetic variability in sublethal tolerance to mixtures of cadmium and zinc in clones of Daphnia magna Straus.

Abstract excerpt

To date, studies on genetic variability in the tolerance of aquatic biota to chemicals have focused on exposure to single chemicals. In the field, metals occur as elemental mixtures, and thus it is essential to study whether the genetic consequences of exposure to such mixtures differs from response to single chemicals. This study determined the feeding responses of three Daphnia magna Straus clones exposed to Cd...
