Suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs are foundation species in coastal intertidal systems.
The selective feeding capabilities of these animals can have a large influence on …

Microplastics (MP; 1 μm to 1 mm) of various shapes and compositions are ingested by
numerous marine animals. Recently, proposals have been made to adopt bivalve molluscs …

The majority of plastics present in the marine environment are microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm).
Suspension filter feeders are susceptible species to MPs ingestion. Once ingested MPs can …

In aquatic environments, suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs are exposed to a manifold of
natural and anthropogenically derived particles, including micro-and nanoplastics. Plastic …

This review features recent updates on planktonic community alteration attributed to shellfish
farming across three major drivers: predation, nutrient availability and the hydrodynamic …

Pollution with complex mixtures of contaminants including micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs)
and organic pollutants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) poses a major threat to …

Salps are gelatinous planktonic suspension feeders that filter large volumes of water in the
food‐dilute open ocean. Their life cycle allows periodic exponential growth and population …

The retention efficiency (RE) of suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs depends on particle
size and is generally assumed to decline below a maximum retention of particles larger than …

Aims We examined the effects of a mixture of contaminants found in agricultural watersheds
on the gut microbiota and physiology of both the freshwater mussel Lampsilis cardium, and …

Suspension-feeding bivalves are the keystone species that affect the abundance and
composition of phytoplankton communities. This study compares the food selectivity of …
