Plastic pollution is an increasing global problem, especially in aquatic environments. From
invertebrates to vertebrates, many aquatic species have been affected by plastic pollution …

Monitoring the movement of plastic into marine food webs is central to understanding and
mitigating the plastic pollution crisis. Bioindicators have been a component of the …

The ingestion of debris by marine fauna is a growing threat to biodiversity. This study aimed
to evaluate and characterize litter ingestion by odontocetes from the Western South Atlantic …

In this paper, we examined the ingestion of large marine debris (1 mm–1010 mm) in 21
odontocete species that were found dead or by-caught in low frequency in southern Brazil …

Limited work to date has examined plastic ingestion in highly migratory seabirds like Great
Shearwaters (Ardenna gravis) across their entire migratory range. We examined 217 Great …

Plastic debris is of particular concern due to its abundance, and its persistence in the
environment. In Argentina, the impact of plastic debris has been documented with a …

Marine megafauna are subject to several threats due to the increasing exploitation of marine
ecosystems. Mortality is frequently evidenced by the occurrence of stranded individuals in …

Simple Summary Plastic production has increased over the past decades, causing more
plastic pollution to enter marine ecosystems. Because plastics persist in the environment for …

This chapter takes a holistic approach to understanding the social and economic impacts of
plastics present in the environment. Plastics are observed and estimated to be increasing …

Investigating ecology of marine animals imposes a continuous challenge due to their
temporal and/or spatial unavailability. Light‐based geolocators (GLS) are animal‐borne …
