However, the extent of the potential ecological effects of microplastics on marine life at different spatial and temporal scales has not yet been Credit author statement Noreen Khalid: Conceptualization, Writing
We therefore suggest that future research should include microplastics that are more representative of those found in the marine environment at relevant concentrations. Additionally, investigating the effects of microplastic ingestion on a broader range of zooplankton species and life stages, will help to...
Microplastics are tiny plastic beads less than 5 mm in diameter, which can be found in many health, beauty and household products. A research team led by Karen Chan, assistant professor of the university's division of life science, studied the impacts of microplastics on slipper limpets, an ...
Microplastics are an emerging marine pollutant. It is important to understand their distribution in the marine environment and their implications on marine habitats and marine biota. Microplastics have been found in almost every marine habitat around the world, with plastic composition and environmental ...
Microplastics ( <5 mm), which are classified based on primary or secondary sources, are widely distributed in the environment and exert significant effects on aquatic life forms; however, evidence regarding the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms is still limited. This researc...
The aquatic environment and the associated fish assemblages are being exposed to an increasing amount of microplastics. Despite the high number of publications on the presence of microplastics in fish, little is known about their uptake, translocation and accumulation within fish organs. Experimental stu...

Microplastics are a pervasive pollutant widespread in the sea and freshwater from anthropogenic sources, and together with the presence of pesticides, they can have physical and chemical effects on aquatic organisms and on their microbiota. Few studies h

The Scopus and Web of Science databases were used for the literature review (performed on April 26, 2022). Search criteria included the keywords “nanoplastics” OR “microplastics” AND “amphibians”. The word “feeding” or “feed” or “ingestion” or others similar were not included because...
