This paper presents an overall bioinvasion impact assessment on the scale of a large
marine region—the Baltic Sea, as defined by the Helsinki Commission. The methodology is …

Predators in aquatic environments can be exposed to microplastics (MPs) directly through
water and indirectly through prey. Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the …
