| Description | Preliminary studies showed that the behaviour of the freshwater shrimp Gammarus pulex showed large variation. In this project the variation in individual shrimps will be compared with the variation of the population. Specimens will be exposed different times to the same stressor and the consistency patterns will be studied. Analyses will be done with the Multispecies Freshwater Biomonitor. |
