Article Synopsis
- This study challenges the assumption that all individuals within a species respond the same way to chemical exposure by examining the copper sensitivity of the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis across different populations.
- Significant variability in copper-induced mortality, daily death rates, and time to half mortality (LT50) was observed among the genetically distinct strains.
- The findings suggest that using a single population for ecological risk assessments can lead to unreliable conclusions, highlighting the need to integrate evolutionary principles into ecotoxicity testing.
