Abstract excerpt
Loss of genetic diversity in natural populations as a result of chemical contamination has been reported in some studies. Here, four field populations of Daphnia longispina, two from sites historically impacted by acid mine drainage (AMD) and two from reference sites, were used to address four objectives: (1) identify differences in sensitivity between the stressed and reference populations; (2) distinguish...
