Despite the remoteness of their breeding sites, subantarctic seabirds are susceptible to anthropogenic pollutants (e.g. microplastics) and other chemical stressors (e.g. plastic additives) that are re...
Euphausiids play important roles in ecosystems worldwide, transferring energy from primary producers to secondary consumers. Antarctic krill are the most abundant euphausiid on Earth and play importan...
Microplastics (MPs) contaminate marine environments from surface waters to deep sediments. Approximately half of global plastic production consists of low-density polymers that should float in seawate...
There is growing concern about the environmental impact of microplastics, especially on the transport of organic compounds and pollutants in aquatic systems. To further understand the effect of microp...
Paint-derived particles are increasingly recognised as a major contributor to marine microplastic pollution, yet emissions from active vessels under routine operational conditions remain poorly charac...
The habitats of the pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima Jameson, 1901) are facing competition from anthropogenic activities, particularly tourism, which is prevalent in the Southeast Asian region. This situ...
Microplastic pollution is a major environmental problem affecting ecosystems, wildlife and people worldwide. Microplastics are solid synthetic polymer particles > 5 mm, insoluble in water and potentia...
Microplastics (MPs) have been increasingly reported in deep-sea sediments, yet their occurrence and hydrodynamic controls in trench environments, particularly those influenced by contemporary turbidit...
Microplastic pollution, stemming from plastic degradation or direct release, presents a persistent threat to marine environments. While global concern grows, data from the Indian Ocean, especially on ...
This study investigated the short‑term effects of polyethylene microplastics (PE‑MPs) on the marine mussel Mytilus edulis using a suite of cellular and subcellular biomarkers. A total of 225 mussels w...
The increase in pharmaceutical residues and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and biotoxins, in coastal ecosystems represents a critical threat to global health. Mussels (Mytilus spp....
The presence of microplastic contamination in agricultural soils represents a growing environmental concern, with significant ramifications for soil health, ecosystem functioning, and food security. W...
