Abstract:
Road salt application improves road safety but leads to salinization of nearby freshwater ecosystems. If populations readily adapt to their local salinity environment, then we expect to find differences in salt tolerance between populations found near vs. far from roads. We determined the salt tolerance of 10 wild strains of the freshwater microbial eukaryote Tetrahymena . We found no significant correlation between salt tolerance and road distance, suggesting that these populations are not locally adapted to their salinity environment. This result may be due to the unexpectedly high salt tolerance across lines, unknown patterns of migration between ponds, or sampling conditions.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...
