DOI: 10.1002/etc.5076
Abstract: The ubiquity of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems has raised concerns over their interaction with biota. However, microplastics research on freshwater species, especially molluscs, is still scarce. We, therefore, investigated the factors affecting microplastics ingestion in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/tox.23663
Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) seriously pollute and potentially threaten human health. Birds are sentinels of environmental pollutants, which respond quickly to contamination events and reveal current environmental exposure. Therefore, birds are good bioindicators for monitoring environmental pollutants.… read more here.
