These examples include a plethora of species, such as of algae (microphytes) [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] , aquatic flowering plants [50] , organism-attached biofilms [51] , crustaceans [52][53][54][55][56][57] , cyanobacteria [49,[58][59][60][61] , fishes [62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69] , macrophytes [70][71][72][73][74][75] , marine polychaete [76] , mollusks (e.g., clams and mussels) [77,78] , periphyton [79] , phytoplankton [80] , sea anemones [81,82] , and snails [83] . Responses suggestive of hormesis were found for molecular (molecules...…”
