A multilevel approach to predict toxicity in copepod populations: assessment of growth, genetics, and population structure.

Aquatic toxicology (Amsterdam, Netherlands) - 12 Aug 2006

Abstract excerpt

One of the goals of environmental risk assessment (ERA) is to understand effects of toxicant exposure on individual organisms and populations. We hypothesized that toxicant exposure can reduce genetic diversity and alter genotype composition, which may ultimately lead to a reduction in the average fitness of the exposed population. To test this hypothesis, we exposed a copepod, Nitocra psammophila, to a toxic...
