Abstract

Highlights: [•] An in situ bioassay evaluates relationships between EDCs and snail reproduction. [•] Reproduction endpoints and embryo development of Physella acuta were studied in three Iberian basins. [•] Eggs per clutch increase but total number of eggs decrease downstream the basins. [•] Number of juveniles at the end of the experiment was lower downstream. [•] EDC concentrations were correlated with reproduction variables. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
