Estimating a regional budget of marine plastic litter in order to advise on marine management measures

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
Using simple models, coupled with parameters extracted from published studies, the annual inputs of macro and micro plastics to the Scottish Atlantic Coast and the Scottish North Sea Coast regions are estimated. Two estimates of land-based sources are used, scaled by catchment area population size.

Plastics and Bioplastics End of Life: A Biocatalytic Perspective

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biocatalysis links selected conventional plastics and bioplastics to biological routes for polymer transformation, product recovery and end‐of‐life management. Enzymes and microbes enable depolymerisation, upcycling and recovery of monomers, platform chemicals and new materials.

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Arboreal Mammals Are at Risk Under Climate Change: Insights From a Global Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climate change is increasingly impacting arboreal mammals, yet these effects vary across regions and taxa, and global syntheses to inform conservation priorities remain limited. This study presents the first global synthesis of climate change impacts on arboreal mammals using a systematic review, meta‐analysis, and bibliometric analysis.

Long‐term adverse cardiovascular changes induced by cocoa shell extract administration through lactation in fetal undernourished and control rats

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3667-3683, 1 August 2026.
Abstract Cocoa shell extract (CSE; rich in antioxidant compounds) administered to adult hypertensive rats exposed to fetal undernutrition (MUN) reduces blood pressure, improving cardiovascular alterations. We aimed to explore lactation as a reprogramming window, evaluating the long‐term effects of CSE supplementation during this period. MUN and control
