Here, we evaluate the potential for trace metal accumulation of nine elements (Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb) in the cestodes Proteocephalus macrophallus parasitizing the tucunaré, Cichla kelberi, in the Jacaré-Guaçú ...

The rhizosphere is a key area for the plant metal uptake. We studied heavy metal availability in the rhizosphere and the bulk soil, the interactions between metal ions, and their effects on heavy metal uptake and accumulation ...

Here we evaluated the potential for trace metal accumulation of two parasitic species, Hysterothylacium sp. (Nematoda) and Phyllodistomum sp. (Digenea), found parasitizing Hoplias malabaricus, a characiform fish also known ...

Marine mammals accumulate heavy metals in their tissues at different concentrations according to trophic levels andenvironmental conditions. The franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) is a small coastal species inhabiting ...

We have tested Ulva lactuca Linnaeus as a metal biomonitor by measuring the concentrations of metals copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), and mercury (Hg) in its biomass and in nearby sediments, within impacted and ...
