This study investigated the toxicity of polyethylene microplastics (MPs;< 0.02 mm) and
CuSO4, alone and in combination, on the freshwater crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus. In …

Simple Summary Sea Turtles have a unique immune system, which evolved over millions of
years in the persistent host-pathogen arms race. As this species occupies a unique …

Aquatic ecosystems have become a place for accumulating microplastics (MPs). MPs can
directly or indirectly damage organisms. Although studies of the toxicity of MPs, there are …

Pesticide exposures can have detrimental impacts on bee pollinators, ranging from

The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the most commercially sought-after
freshwater fish species and one of the most farmed in the world. On the other hand …

Microplastics and heavy metals pollution is recognised as a major problem affecting aquatic
ecosystems. For this reason, this study aims to assess the toxicity of different concentrations …

The potential toxicity of microplastics is a growing concern for the scientific community. The
loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is particularly inclined to accidently ingest plastic and …
