Towards a tiered framework for an ecotoxicological hazard assessment of fluvial sediments - presentation and early tests

Sediments are an essential component of fluvial ecosystems. They are also quite often a cause of disturbance for fluvial works, such as dams or locks. In order to manage these disturbances without causing adverse impacts downstream, managers should have in ...

Dormant or not dormant? Benthic foraminiferal metabolism under anoxia

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Hypoxic events particularly affect benthic ecosystems on continental shelves and in coastal areas where renewal of bottom waters slow. Foraminifera living in such environments are among the most tolerant to hypoxia in the meiofauna. Some foraminifera speci ...

Micro-)plastic assessment in freshwater ecosystems and the environment

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Olivier Pompini

While plastic pollution in marine environments is getting better known and is the subject of a continuously growing number of publications, freshwaters still receive too little attention. Some studies worldwide focused on the nature and concentrations of m ...

Kleptoplasty in a shallow water benthic foraminifer, Haynesina germanica

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Some benthic foraminifera have the ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from diatoms (kleptoplasty). Our objective was to investigate kleptoplast cellular organisation, functionality (O2 flux, C and N incorporation), pigment composition and photo ...

Feeding behaviour of a benthic species (Ammonia tepida) under oxic and anoxic conditions: TEM-NanoSIMS correlation

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

More and more marine areas are subjected to depleted-O2 concentration, mainly due to eutrophication induced by human activities. These phenomena affect benthic ecosystems, in particular continental shelves and coastal areas where the renewal of the bottom ...

Assemblages and paleo-diet variability of subfossil Chironomidae (Diptera) from a deep lake (Lake Grand Maclu, France)

François Gillet

The heterogeneity of the subfossil chironomid deposition (in terms of assemblages and paleo-diet) has to be studied to assess the reliability of paleolimnological interpretations (i.e., spatial representativeness). We collected 31 cores in the deepest part ...

Silver Nanoparticle Effects on Stream Periphyton During Short-Term Exposures

Kristin Schirmer, Ahmed Tlili, Renata Behra

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are increasingly used as antimicrobials in consumer products. Subsequently released into aquatic environments, they are likely to come in contact with microbial communities like periphyton, which plays a key role as a primary pr ...

Silver nanoparticle effects on simple stream food webs and ecosystem processes

Carmen Omayra Gil Allué

With the global nanotechnology market growing rapidly, nanomaterials are being increasingly released into aquatic environments, where they can undergo modifications and sedimentation, which will put benthic organisms at risk. Of particular interest is the ...
