Sediment bioassays with larvae of the midge, Chironomus tentans, were used to evaluate influences on the bioavailability and toxicity of copper (Cu) in sediments with a wide range of concentrations of metals, acid-volatile sulfide (AVS), and other physicochemical characteristics. Sediments were coll
Gut contents have long been recognized as a potentially important source of bias in studies concerned with estimating contaminant body burdens in benthic macroinvertebrates. In this study, we show that gut-associated, inorganic material may also lead to significant overestimates of weight in Chirono
