Marine Pollutant Tributyltin Affects DNA Methylation and Fitness of Banded Murex (<i>Hexaplex trunculus</i>) Populations

Banded murex, <i>Hexaplex trunculus</i>, is a marine gastropod whose reproductive fitness can be severely affected by very low concentrations of antifouling compound tributyltin (TBT). TBT has strong xenoandrogen impacts on snails, causing the development of imposex (e.g., the superimpos...
