Going with the Flow: Detection of Drift in Response to Hypo-Saline Stress by th...
Araujo, Cristiano V. M.; Romero-Romero, Sonia; Lourençato, Lucio F.; Moreno-Garrido, Ignacio; Blasco, Julián; Gretz, Michael R.; Moreira-Santos, MatildeAvoidance response is a well-known mechanism for escaping environmental stress. For organisms with reduced active movement, such as benthic microalgae, drifting could be a specifically selected mean of avoiding less favorable environments. To test this hypothesis, a system was developed to assess if hypo-saline stress triggers drift in the estuarine benthic diatom Cylindrotheca closterium. Concurrently, the eff...
