Heavy metal biomagnification and genotoxic damage in two trophic levels exposed to mine tailings: a network theory approach

Abstract Background The analysis of the negative effects of environmental metal pollution is complex and difficult to assess, because the great number of variables and levels of biological organization involved. Therefore, an integral interpretation of the structure of ecological interactions from...
