Abstract This study tested the effect of environmental concentrations of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline on the life history of Daphnia magna and how individual-level responses could predict effects on population growth rate. Individual-level responses related to reproduction, growth and feeding were quantified in a 39-day bioassay and used in a life-table matrix. Alt
Rätten till nödvärn innebär att handlingar som annars vore brottsliga kan företas av den som blivit utsatt för ett brottsligt angrepp för att sedan gå fri från ansvar.

Many animals have biological and circadian rhythms with periods of more and less activity. Fan worms (Polychaeta: Sabellidae) possess radiolar crowns used for feeding and respiration. These crowns can be retracted into the tube in which the animal lives, or displayed in the water, indicating inactivity or activity. Here, activity patterns based on crown status were studied in the fan worm species
