Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern that have been reported in terrestrial
and aquatic ecosystems as well as in food items. The increasing production and use of …

Organisms face energetic challenges of climate change in combination with suites of natural
and anthropogenic stressors. In particular, chemical contaminant exposure has neurotoxic …

Global warming and nanoplastics (NPs) are critical global issues. Among NPs, one of the
most hazardous types of plastics, polystyrene (PS), poses ecotoxicological threats to several …

Microplastics (MP) are an abundant, long-lasting, and widespread type of environmental
pollution that is of increasing concern as it might pose a serious threat to ecosystems and …

Coastal ecosystems face a multitude of pressures including plastic pollution and increased
flood risk due to sea level rise and the frequency and severity of storms. Experiments seldom …

Freshwater benthic environments are among the major sinks of microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm)
sourced on inland anthropogenic activities. The ecotoxicological effects of MPs on benthic …

Pollution and climate change are among the main threats to the biodiversity of freshwater
ecosystems in the 21st century. We experimentally tested the effects of microplastic and …

Microplastics are emerging as a central concern for the environment. They can be found
worldwide, produced for the industry and because of plastic debris degradation. The …

Evidence grows that standard toxicity testing might underestimate the environmental risk of
neurotoxic insecticides. Behavioural endpoints such as locomotion and mobility have been …

Microplastic pollution poses a global threat to freshwater ecosystems, with laboratory
experiments indicating potential toxic impacts through chemical toxicity, physical abrasion …
