Título: | Tolerance to Copper and to Salinity in Daphnia longispina: Implications within a Climate Change Scenario | Autor: | Leitão, João Ribeiro, R. Soares, Amadeu M. V. M. Lopes, I. |

Accordingly, the present study aimed at evaluating if a negative association between tolerance to a metal and to saltwater exists among genotypes of a freshwater organism. For this, five clonal lineages of the cladoceran Daphnia longispina O.F. Mu¨ ller, exhibiting a differential tolerance to lethal levels of copper, were selected. Each clonal lineage was exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations of sodium chloride (assumed as a protective surrogate to evaluate the toxicity of increased salinity to freshwater organisms). Mortality, time to release the first brood and total number of neonates per female were monitored and the somatic growth rate and intrinsic rate of natural increase were computed for each clonal lineage. Data here obtained were compared with their lethal responses to copper and significant negative correlations were found. These results suggest that genetically eroded populations of D. longispina, due to copper or salinity, may be particularly susceptible to a later exposure to the other contaminant supporting the multiple stressors differential tolerance. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/25679 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0068702 | Direitos: | openAccess |
