TLDR
In amphipods, accumulated body metal concentrations are the best biomarkers for environmental metal availabilities and the effects of accumulated metals on communities have yet to be determined.About:

Why Is Metal Bioaccumulation So Variable? Biodynamics as a Unifying Concept
TL;DR: It is suggested that a biologically based conceptualization, the biodynamic model, provides the necessary unification for a key aspect in risk: metal bioaccumulation (internal exposure).
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace metal bioaccumulation: models, metabolic availability and toxicity.
TL;DR: The biodynamic model of trace metal bioaccumulation allows the prediction and explanation of widely differing accumulated trace metal concentrations in organisms, combining geochemical analyses of environmental metal concentrations with the measurement of key physiological parameters for a species from the site under consideration.
Book
Evolutionary ecology of social and sexual systems : crustaceans as model organisms
J. Emmett Duffy,Martin Thiel +1 more
TL;DR: This book synthesizes the state of the field in crustacean behavior and sociobiology and places it in a conceptually based, comparative framework that will be valuable to active researchers and students in animal behavior, ecology, and evolutionary biology.

Microplastic debris in sandhoppers
TL;DR: In this article, the sandhopper Talitrus saltator was fed with dry fish food mixed with polyethylene microspheres (diameter 10-45μm).

Sensitivities of Australian and New Zealand amphipods to copper and zinc in waters and metal-spiked sediments.
Catherine K. King,Sharyn A. Gale,Ross V. Hyne,Jenny L. Stauber,Stuart L. Simpson,Christopher Hickey +5 more
TL;DR: Two epibenthic amphipods from the genus Melita were the most sensitive species to aqueous copper and zinc, and are recommended as test species and were more sensitive than the infaunal tube-dwelling amphipODs.

Incidence of adverse biological effects within ranges of chemical concentrations in marine and estuarine sediments
TL;DR: In this article, matching biological and chemical data were compiled from numerous modeling, laboratory, and field studies performed in marine and estuarine sediments, and two guideline values (an effects range low and an effects range median) were determined for nine trace metals, total PCBs, two pesticides, 13 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and three classes of PAHs.

Metal pollution in the aquatic environment
TL;DR: This significant book provides not only an introduction to the dynamics of aquatic chem istries but also identifies those materials that jeopardize the resources of both the marine and fluvial domains.

Bioavailability, accumulation and effects of heavy metals in sediments with special reference to United Kingdom estuaries: a review
G.W. Bryan,W.J. Langston +1 more
TL;DR: Various factors governing the bioavailability, bioaccumulation and biological effects of heavy metals in sediment-dominated estuaries are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The replacement of the nondescript term ‘heavy metals’ by a biologically and chemically significant classification of metal ions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a classification of metal ions according to their binding preferences (i.e. whether they seek out O-, N- or S-containing ligands).
