Marine microbial assemblages on microplastics: diversity, adaptation, and role in degradation
S Oberbeckmann, M Labrenz - Annual review of marine science, 2020 - annualreviews.org
We have known for more than 45 years that microplastics in the ocean are carriers of
microbially dominated assemblages. However, only recently has the role of microbial …

Plastic as a vector of dispersion for marine species with invasive potential. A review
Plastic debris constitutes up to 87% of marine litter and represents one of the most frequently
studied vectors for marine alien species with invasive potential in the last 15 years. This …

Assessing the potential for the introduction and spread of alien species with marine litter
The introduction and transport of marine invasive species into new environments are a great
threat to biodiversity and ecosystem services with potential economic repercussions. There …

Travelling light: Fouling biota on macroplastics arriving on beaches of remote Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Marine anthropogenic debris was sampled from two beaches on the remote South Pacific
island Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Abundance, composition, and the attached fouling …

Exploring potential establishment of marine rafting species after transoceanic long‐distance dispersal
Abstract Aim On 11 March 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake triggered a massive
tsunami that resulted in the largest known rafting event in recorded history. By spring 2012 …
