Responses of a benthic marine invertebrate to γ-irradiated sediment


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT THERE seems to be little information on the influence of high radiation levels on marine sediments and their subsequent re-colonisation by sedimentary invertebrates. We report here


that the benthic amphipod _Corophium volutator_ (Pallas) responds to irradiated sediments in which there have been changes of _Eh_ and microbial viability. Our results are of direct


relevance to the microbiological and chemical properties of sediments1–3, and to the role played by microorganisms in habitat selection by benthic invertebrates4,5. Access through your
