Abiotic stressors and stress responses: What commonalities appear between species across biological organization levels?

TL;DR: The integrative analysis aims to compare how molecular and physiological mechanisms related to protection, repair and energy allocation can impact life history traits of stressed organisms, and to what extent trait responses influence individual and population responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of toxic cyanobacteria on community structure and microcystin accumulation of freshwater molluscs.

TL;DR: Observed decrease in mollusc abundance and changes in species richness in highly contaminated waters were not significant; however, relative abundances of taxa (prosobranchs, pulmonates, bivalves) were significantly different before and after cyanobacterial bloom.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions between cyanobacteria and Gastropods I. Ingestion of toxic Planktothrix agardhii by Lymnaea stagnalis and the kinetics of microcystin bioaccumulation and detoxification

TL;DR: Toxin accumulation was greater in the gastropods fed on P. agardhii alone than those fed on the mixed diet, and was also greater in juveniles than in adults, and the results are discussed in terms of potential contamination to the food web.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accumulation of free and covalently bound microcystins in tissues of Lymnaea stagnalis (Gastropoda) following toxic cyanobacteria or dissolved microcystin-LR exposure.

TL;DR: Following the accumulation of total MCs in Lymnaea stagnalis exposed to dissolved MC-LR, bound MCs were detected in snails previously exposed to toxic cyanobacteria, representing a potential source of MCs transfer through the food web.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long‐term dynamics and community structure of freshwater gastropods exposed to parasitism and other environmental stressors

TL;DR: In this paper, the gastropod community of a French lake has been investigated for 10 years to study its responses to three main environmental disturbances: supra-seasonal droughts, recurrent proliferations of cyanobacteria and parasitism by trematodes.
