Development and validation of a chronic Pb bioavailability model for the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus
We investigated the univariate effects of Ca, pH and DOC on chronic (48h) Pb toxicity to the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus. High pH (8.2) and higher concentrations of DOC were protective against filtered Pb toxicity, whereas Ca was not. However, expressed as free Pb2+ ion, Pb2+ toxicity increased with increasing DOC concentration, indicating that Pb‐Fulvic Acid (FA) complexes may ...

Lethal and sublethal effects of selected PPCPs on the freshwater rotifer, Plationus patulus
PPCPs have been reported in surface waters around the world. The continuous input of these pollutants into freshwaters and their potential effects on aquatic life are of increasing concern. The rotifer Plationus patulus, a basal member of riverine food webs, was used to test acute and chronic toxicity of four PPCPs (acetamidophenol, caffeine, fluoxetine, triclosan). A population from a remote ...
