Transcriptomic, biochemical and individual markers in transplanted Daphnia magn...
Rivetti, Claudia; Campos, Bruno; Faria, Melissa; Català, Nuria De Castro; Malik, Amrita; Muñoz, Isabel; Tauler, Romà; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.Daphnia magna individuals were transplanted across 12 sites from three Spanish river basins (Llobregat, Ebro, Jucar) showing different sources of pollution. Gene transcription, feeding and biochemical responses in the field were assessed and comparedwith those obtained in re-constitutedwater treatments spikedwith organic eluates obtained fromwater samples collected at the same locations and sampling periods.
