The presence of microplastics in the aquatic environment poses a serious threat not only to
aquatic organisms but also to human beings that consume them. The uptake and effects of …

Biodegradable plastics (BPs) have been widely advocated as a sustainable alternative to
petroleum-derived polymers, aiming to mitigate the burgeoning crisis of microplastic …

The artificial breeding of freshwater crabs in China has become the main source, accounting
for 45.69% of the total output in 2020. However, microplastics widely exist in ponds due to …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of co-exposure of iron and
microplastics (MPs) on the cognitive function of aged humans and animals. It was already …

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as widespread environmental pollutants, causing
significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and organisms. This review examines the toxic …

Microplastics are ubiquitous in the marine environment, and their uptake by many organisms
has been well documented. Concern about increasing plastic waste in ecosystems and …

Human impacts on the environment affect organisms at all levels of biological organisation
and ultimately can change their phenotype. Over time, phenotypic change may arise due to …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are a threat to marine biodiversity however their effects on
animal cognition and behaviour are unclear. We investigated whether microplastic exposure …

Recently, waterborne microplastics (MP) has raised significant public concerns. Therefore, a
sensitive and macroscopic indicator is needed for the management and risk prediction of …

Simple Summary Little is known about how microplastics impact animal cognition—the way
animals gather and process information. We investigated whether microplastic exposure …
