Determination of mechanism of zinc resistance in Chironomus riparius: a physiological/energetic approach
The objective of this project was to investigate two mechanisms that are commonly thought to be responsible for heavy metal resistance in aquatic invertebrates. Data were generated based on comparisons of growth and respiration experiments using instar III and IV Chironomus riparius under the influe...
