Respiratory strategies and associated exchange epithelia as determinants on contaminant uptake in aquatic insects

Creator:

Buchwalter, David B.

Abstract:

Aquatic insects are used extensively to evaluate water quality. Despite their widespread use as indicator organisms, relatively little is known about the organismal characteristics that determine sensitivity differences to individual and multiple stressors. Insects have evolved several respiratory strategies that range from breathing atmospheric air to utilizing dissolved oxygen in...
