Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the toxicity of lithium (Li) on two cryptic species of the copepod Eurytemora affinis, highlighting the importance of understanding species diversity in ecotoxicology.
- Different concentrations of Li were tested on larvae from European and North-Atlantic clades, revealing a moderate difference in their sensitivity to Li exposure.
- Findings suggest that while Li concentrations in the environment are expected to rise, the thresholds for causing significant effects in these copepods are still considerably higher than current levels, indicating a need for awareness regarding cryptic species in ecological assessments.
