Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Energy and Environmental Stress in Aquatic Systems: Selected Papers From a Symposium Held at Augusta, Georgia, November 2-4, 1977 The rapid proliferation in the past few years of studies of the environmental impact resulting from the procurement, conversion, burning, and disposal of coal is indicative of the reemerging importance of this energy source in many industrial nations. Gehrs concludes from a literature review of studies on organic contaminants produced by conversion of coal to hydrocarbon com pounds with higher hydrogen-to-carbon ratios, that toxicological investigations of individual compounds can be made manageable by first grouping the compounds on the basis of chemical structure and then studying representative compounds. Schultz, Dumont, and Kyte demonstrate that a 2% concentration of untreated coal-conversion gasifier condensate decreased motility and increased cell lysis in a ciliate protozoan. The procurement of coal can result in acid mine pollution, which has been demonstrated to reduce severely species richness of invertebrate communities in Ohio streams (hummon et al.) but to have a much lesser impact on Colorado streams (ward, Canton, and Gray).

Book Oxidative Stress in Aquatic Ecosystems

Download or read book Oxidative Stress in Aquatic Ecosystems written by Doris Abele and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly appreciated as down-stream effectors of cellular damage and dysfunction under natural and anthropogenic stress scenarios in aquatic systems. This comprehensive volume describes oxidative stress phenomena in different climatic zones and groups of organisms, taking into account specific habitat conditions and how they affect susceptibility to ROS damage. A comprehensive and detailed methods section is included which supplies complete protocols for analyzing ROS production, oxidative damage, and antioxidant systems. Methods are also evaluated with respect to applicability and constraints for different types of research. The authors are all internationally recognized experts in particular fields of oxidative stress research. This comprehensive reference volume is essential for students, researchers, and technicians in the field of ROS research, and also contains information useful for veterinarians, environmental health professionals, and decision makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all stress is stressful; instead, it appears that stress in the environment, below the mutation threshold, is essential for many subtle manifestations of population structures and biodiversity, and has played a substantial role in the evolution of life. Intrigued by the behavior of laboratory animals that contradicted our current understanding of stress, the author and his group studied the beneficial effects of stress on animals and plants. The seemingly “crazy” animals demonstrated that several stress paradigms are outdated and have to be reconsidered. The book describes the general stress responses in microorganisms, plants, and animals to abiotic and biotic, to natural and anthropogenic stressors. These stress responses include the activation of oxygen, the biotransformation system, the stress proteins, and the metal-binding proteins. The potential of stress response lies in the transcription of genes, whereas the actual response is manifested by proteins and metabolites. Yet, not all stress responses are in the genes: micro-RNAs and epigenetics play central roles. Multiple stressors, such as environmental realism, do not always act additively; they may even diminish one another. Furthermore, one stressor often prepares the subject for the next one to come and may produce extended lifespans and increased offspring numbers, thus causing shifts in population structures. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the ecological and evolutionary effects of stress.

Book Quantitative Methods in Aquatic Ecotoxicology

Download or read book Quantitative Methods in Aquatic Ecotoxicology written by Michael C. Newman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994-12-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a quantitative treatment of the science of ecotoxicology. The first chapters consider fundamental concepts and definitions essential to understanding the fate and effects of toxicants at various levels of ecological organization as covered in the remaining chapters. Scientific ecotoxicology and associated topics are defined. The historical perspective, rationale, and characteristics are outlined for the strong inferential and quantitative approach advocated in this book. The general measurement process is discussed, and methodologies for defining and controlling variance, which could otherwise exclude valid conclusions regarding ecotoxicological endeavors, are considered. Ecotoxicological concepts at increasing levels of ecological organization are discussed in the second part of the book. Quantitative methods used to measure toxicant effects are outlined in this section. The final chapter summarizes the book with a brief discussion of ecotoxicological assessment. Numerous figures and tables accompany text, with many statistical tables found in the appendix for quick reference. Although the book primarily focuses on aquatic systems, with appropriate modification the concepts and methods can be applied to terrestrial systems.
