Familial differences in the effects of mercury on reproduction in zebra finches.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987) - 1 Nov 2013

Varian-Ramos Claire W, Swaddle John P, Cristol Daniel A

Abstract excerpt

Ecotoxicologists often implicitly assume that populations are homogenous entities in which all individuals have similar responses to a contaminant. However, genetically variable responses occur within populations. This variation can be visualized using dose-response curves of genetically related groups, similar to the way that evolutionary biologists construct reaction norms. We assessed the variation in...
