Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic transfer of persistent organic pollutants through a pelagic food web: The case of Lake Como (Northern Italy).
Michela Mazzoni,Emanuela Boggio,Marina Manca,Roberta Piscia,Silvia Quadroni,Arianna Bellasi,Roberta Bettinetti +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the trophic transfer of these organochlorine contaminants through a pelagic food web of a deep lake in Northern Italy over time confirmed the biomagnification of these compounds in one of the two zooplanktivorous fish species of the lake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organochlorine contamination in the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus): effects on eggshell thickness and egg steroid levels.
TL;DR: A negative linear relationship was found between p,p'-DDE concentration and eggshell thickness for eggs collected from both lakes, indicating a possible causal relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sub-lethal effects of acetone on Daphnia magna
TL;DR: The results suggest that the acetone concentration should not exceed 7.9 mg l−1, which is 10 times less than the allowed concentration as determined by OECD chronic assays on D. magna.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifetime Response of Contemporary Versus Resurrected Daphnia galeata Sars (Crustacea, Cladocera) to Cu(II) Chronic Exposure
Roberta Piscia,Maria Colombini,Benedetta Ponti,Roberta Bettinetti,Damiano Monticelli,Valeria Rossi,Marina Manca +6 more
TL;DR: The lifetime tolerance and effects of Cu(II) exposure on Daphnia galeata in a polluted subalpine lake is quantified by comparing extant individuals with those resurrected from ephippia extracted from ca.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology of the whale shark in Djibouti
TL;DR: Investigating the ecology of whale sharks in Djibouti found a significant male-based aggregation, a clear temporal distribution associated with the variation in zooplankton biomass due to the monsoon winds, and little intra-specific variation in δ 15 N and δ 13 C was found between animals, suggesting a similar habitat use.
