TL;DR: Data indicate that n-ZnO toxicity to freshwater organisms is modulated by organic pollutants and enhanced by elevated temperatures, and the key biomarkers that showed differential responses to different single and combined stressors in this study were activities of caspase-3 and lysosomal cathepsin D, as well as protein carbonyl content.

TL;DR: Data indicate that long-term acclimation and/or adaptation of A. anatina to elevated temperatures result in increased thermotolerance and alleviate stress response to moderate temperature rise and, in contrast, extreme warming is harmful to mussels from all populations indicating limit to this induced thermot tolerance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of sentinel species in biomonitoring needs to be discussed due to different level of their vulnerability by environmental toxicants, such as agricultural and industrial wastes entering aquatic environment and being taken up by aquatic organisms induce plural changes Some of them directly enhance ROS formation whereas others act indirectly, for example, by binding with cellular thiols and reducing antioxidant potential.

TL;DR: It is concluded that neonicotinoids act on nicotinergic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the snail CNS, confirming that the same ACh receptor (AChR) target was involved.

TL;DR: Despite high efficiency of metal detoxification and oxidative stress responses in the mussels, in the specimens from spontaneously polluted site they were impaired.
