Sensory determinants of valve rhythm dynamics provide in situ biodetection of copper in aquatic environments
This study successfully applied an improved valvometry technique to measure waterborne copper (Cu), based on valve activity dynamics of the freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea. The improved valvometry technique al...

A real-time biomonitoring system to detect arsenic toxicity by valve movement in freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea
Arsenic (As) is the element of greatest ecotoxicological concern in aquatic environments. Effective monitoring and diagnosis of As pollution via a biological early warning system is a great challenge for As-af...

Toxicokinetics/toxicodynamics with damage feedback improves risk assessment for tilapia and freshwater clam exposed to arsenic
It has been proposed that irreversible responses of organisms exposed to contaminants are due to a systems-level feedback. Here we tested this hypothesis by reanalyzing the published data on toxicokinetics and...

Valve movement response of the freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea following exposure to waterborne arsenic
We developed an inductance-based valvometry technique as a detection system to measure the valve daily activity in freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea in response to waterborne arsenic. Our findings reveal that C....
