Chronic Exposure to High Concentrations of Road Salt Decreases the Immune Response of Dragonfly Larvae

Salinization of freshwater ecosystems, due to the application of road salts, is recognized as a potential threat to aquatic communities. Much of the research on the impact of salinity has focused on performance metrics in vertebrates, including respiration and osmoregulation. Here we focus on immune...
