Interactive Effects of Metals and PAHs on Benthic Food Webs

Abstract

Our long-term goals are to understand how complex mixtures of contaminants influence benthic communities at the levels of microorganisms, microalgae, invertebrate grazers, and fish predators. In particular, we are interested in how contaminants influence foodweb interactions among these groups of organisms.
