Why is single‐use plastic still in the conservation sector toolbox?

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 448-460, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Microplastic residue left in the environment from plastic chewcards in three pest mammal monitoring operations was estimated at an average of 15% of the starting weight. This finding highlight the issue of single‐use plastics within New Zealand’s (NZ) conservation sector.

Micro- and mesoplastics in sea surface water from a Northern Adriatic coastal area

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022
The presence of microplastics in the sea is a global issue widely studied and discussed in the last years. The whole marine ecosystem is now considered at high risk because of their presence and abundance in every studied environment all over the world because polymeric materials commonly constitute the main raw materials in contemporary industrial ...

Microplastic, an Emerging Threat to the Global Seagrass Ecosystems: A Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 1, Fall 2025.
ABSTRACT Seagrass, a type of marine plant that grows into meadows in intertidal zones and shallow coastal waters, can contribute to numerous ecological and economic benefits. Benefits include carbon sequestration, habitat for marine species, coastal protection, and raw materials for medicines and fertilizer production.

Baikal endemic and Palearctic species of caddisflies (Trichoptera) build cases from microplastics

Acta Biologica Sibirica
Pollution of freshwater ecosystems by microplastics is a serious problem. Many studies are related to the pelagic zone and the organisms living in it. However, benthic organisms are most susceptible to this problem in aquatic ecosystems.

Current Approaches and Challenges in Advanced Oxidation Processes for Nanoplastic Degradation

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 30, August 14, 2025.
This review explores recent progress in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the degradation of nanoplastics (NPs) in water. It presents a comparative assessment of key AOP technologies and identifies current limitations in analytical methods and treatment efficiency.

Synergies Between Anthropogenic Litter and Biopollution in SW Bay of Biscay Rivers Discovered Through Citizen Science: Implications for Conservation

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic litter and other pollutants are known to contribute to the introduction and settlement of invasive alien species (IAS) in marine settings; however, the relationship between biopollutant IAS and litter in rivers is much less studied.

The Effect of Larval Exposure to Plastic Pollution on the Gut Microbiota of the Major Malaria Vector Anopheles arabiensis Patton (Diptera: Culicidae)

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
Two laboratory strains of Anopheles arabiensis exposed to four plastic treatments resulted in minimal effects on alpha diversity and a non‐strain–specific alteration of beta diversity. Although no significant change to Plasmodium‐protective bacteria was observed, an increase in bacteria associated with plastic degradation, pesticide metabolism and ...

Remote Sensing for Monitoring Macroplastics in Rivers: A Review

WIREs Water, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Panoramic of remote sensing platforms for monitoring plastics in riverine environments. Platform elevation is directly related to image spatial resolution; see the example of a plastic bottle captured from Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs). Letters stand for drone (D) and satellite (S) platforms: (Sa) Sentinel‐2; (Sb) Sentinel‐1 SAR; (Sc) Pleiades ...
