Three-dimensional analysis of the swimming behavior of Daphnia magna exposed to nanosized titanium dioxide.

Due to their surface characteristics, nanosized titanium dioxide particles (nTiO2) tend to adhere to biological surfaces and we thus hypothesize that they may alter the swimming performance and behavior of motile aquatic organisms. However, no suitable approaches to address these impairments in swim...
