Water fleas as ‘canaries in a coal mine’ offer key to managing chemical pollution — ScienceDaily
Water fleas, or Daphnia, could provide an important ‘early warning system’ for chemical pollution in our lakes and rivers. In addition, where prevention to pollute has failed, Daphnia could work as a bioremediation agent to help reduce hazards. Researchers, led by the University of Birmingham, have devised a new framework using high throughput ‘omics’ technologies … Read more
