Parental exposure to pesticides and progeny reaction norm to a biotic stress gradient in the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis.

Abstract excerpt

Human-induced environmental stress may lead to rapid evolutionary processes, and can affect the ability of natural populations to respond to other environmental change or stress. We used quantitative genetics tools, pesticide exposure and a gradient of biotic stress to investigate these questions in the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis. The study focused on the genetic component of variance for life-history...
