Variation in sensitivity to cadmium among genetically characterized laboratory strains of the midge Chironomus riparius

Estimating the extent of intraspecific variation in sensitivity to contaminant exposure is important in order to explain variation in the outcome of toxicity tests and to predict the effects of chemical stress on natural populations of plants and animals. However, only few studies provide evident da...
