DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111830
Abstract: It has been estimated that over 28 million tonnes of plastics end up in water bodies annually. These plastics degrade into microplastics (MPs), which along with microbeads and MPs from other sources such as wastewater… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150118
Abstract: Abstract The high levels of microplastics (MPs) found in freshwaters, particularly in riverine sediments, may impose a threat to the macroinvertebrate communities with possible consequences at ecosystem-level. The present study aimed to assess the effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-02748-4
Abstract: Microplastics are ubiquitous in standing freshwater bodies, consequently lakes and reservoirs may be important sinks for these contaminants. However, the mechanisms governing the deposition of microplastics and their interactions with the sediments are understudied. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4177639
Abstract: The Guadiana Basin is a transnational basin, presenting historical contamination with potentially toxic metals (PTM), which origin can be both natural and anthropogenic. This study explores the use of a set of observational, chemical and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8080868
Abstract: Although the Pleosporaceae is one of the species-richest families in the Pleosporales, research into less-explored substrates can contribute to widening the knowledge of its diversity. In our ongoing survey on culturable Ascomycota from freshwater sediments… read more here.

DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.86.73861
Abstract: Abstract Penicillium species are common fungi found worldwide from diverse substrates, including soil, plant debris, food products and air. Their diversity in aquatic environments is still underexplored. With the aim to explore the fungal diversity… read more here.
