Appearance of a genetically-based pollution resistance in a marine gastropod, Nucella lapillus, in southwest Brittany: a new case of Dumpton Syndrome
International audience Most neogastropod species exhibit masculinization of the female when subject to tributyltin (TBT) pollution (a process known as 'imposex'). To date, the dog-whelk Nucella lapillus is seemingly unique in having a genetic deficiency (termed Dumpton syndrome or DS) that...

International audience Most neogastropod species exhibit masculinization of the female when subject to tributyltin (TBT) pollution (a process known as 'imposex'). To date, the dog-whelk Nucella lapillus is seemingly unique in having a genetic deficiency (termed Dumpton syndrome or DS) that disrupts the development of normal male sex organs, its presence being readily recognizable by the underdevelopment, or non-development (aphally), of the penis, and incomplete formation (non-closure) of the vas deferens, causing a split prostate.
