doi: 10.3389/fendo.2021.816418
Figure Lengend Snippet: Mean intersex incidence (+ SEM) in Echinogammarus marinus at different sampling sites in NW-Brittany (France) during long-term-monitoring from 2012 to 2020 (A) . Total numbers of intersex specimens: n(RM)=19, n(AI)=14, n(AK)=52, n(AB)=9, n(T)=36, n(AV)=56, n(L)=51, n(A1)=64, n(A2)=13, n(A3)=71, n(A4)=16, n(A5)=24. Statistically significant differences to reference RM are marked by asterisks (* = p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison-Test). Linear regression between the mean intersex relative incidence (2012–2020) in Echinogammarus marinus and the distance to the sea (p < 0.01, Pearson r = 0.749) (B) .
Article Snippet: In the present long-term study, we focus on the amphipod species Echinogammarus marinus , which is commonly found in marine and estuarine ecosystems across Europe.
