The influence of zinc on the accumulation of cadmium and copper in the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber (Crustacea, Isopoda)
Open accessAbstract
Relative to data derived from single-metal exposure not much is known about metal kinetics in terrestrial isopods exposed to a mixture of metals. In the work presented the accumulation pattern of Zn, Cd and Cu were studied in Porcellio scaber, one of the most investigated isopods. Animals were fed with hazel leaves dosed with single metals or their binary mixtures. After twenty-one days of exposure, food consumption and metal accumulation were measured. Results revealed that the accumulation of Zn is not affected by a decreased food consumption rate or by possible interactions between the mixture constituents. In contrast, the accumulation of Cd and Cu is significantly reduced when food is also contam- inated with Zn. The lower accumulation of Cd and Cu can be ascribed to interactions with Zn that affect uptake and/or loss of metals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
