Mercury toxicity in the aquatic oligochaete Sparganophilus pearsei. II. Autotomy as a novel form of protection

Aquatic oligochaetes are commonly used for toxicity testing and for assessment of sediment impairment; some species can be relatively tolerant of sediment contaminants. However, there have been few studies of tolerance mechanisms; most work has focused on behavioral changes. The aquatic oligochaete...
