Abstract excerpt
Differential resistance to metal pollution in Daphnia longispina populations was reported in previous studies. In this work, we tried to determine if variation in polymorphic enzymes, often referred as being under metal selection, were related with differences in resistance to acute single- and mixed-metal exposure. Allozyme genotype of 20 putatively polymorphic enzymes, 48-h median lethal concentration (LC50)...
