Do microplastic particles affect Daphnia magna at the morphological, life history and molecular level? [PDF]
, 2017 Microplastic particles are ubiquitous not only in marine but also in freshwater ecosystems. However, the impacts of microplastics, consisting of a large variety of synthetic polymers, on freshwater organisms remains poorly understood.

Categorization of plastic debris on sixty-six beaches of the Laurentian Great Lakes, North America
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 The Laurentian Great Lakes system is a major global sink for plastic debris. An area of 10 m ^2 on each of sixty-six Great Lakes beaches was sampled for large micro-, meso- and macroplastic items.

Macroplastic Debris Transfer in Rivers: A Travel Distance Approach
Frontiers in Water, 2021 Plastic accumulation in the marine environment is a major concern given the harmful effects and longevity of plastics at sea. Although rivers are likely to significantly contribute to the flux of plastic to marine systems, the behaviour of plastic debris

What is with all the plastic garbage everywhere and where does it go? [PDF]
, 2020 Despite countless efforts in recycling, awareness, and limited legislation, plastic pollution has continued to spiral out of control due to massive production/use and the inability to naturally decompose.

Life on bottles: Colonisation of macroplastics by freshwater biota
Science of The Total Environment, 2023 While rivers are known to be the main vectors of plastics to the sea, it seems surprising that studies on interactions (e.g. colonisation/entrapment and drift) between macroplastics and biota continue to remain largely neglected, notwithstanding they represent unexpected threats to freshwater biota and riverine habitats.

Rapid Landscape Changes in Plastic Bays Along the Norwegian Coastline
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The Norwegian Coastal Current transports natural debris and plastic waste along the Norwegian coastline. Deposition occurs in so-called wreck-bays and includes floating debris, such as seaweed, driftwood and volcanic pumice, and increasing amounts of ...

What goes in, must come out:combining scat-based molecular diet analysis and quantification of ingested microplastics in a marine top predator [PDF]
, 2019 Context: Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from prey to predator.
