The use of non-forced multi-compartmented exposure systems has gained importance in the
assessment of the contamination-driven spatial avoidance response. This new paradigm of …

The environmental impact of sunscreen is a growing concern, yet the combined effects of its
components on marine animals are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the …

The effects of microplastic on mortality and sublethal responses on larval development of
meroplankton are still largely unknown. Present study investigated the effects of four sizes of …

The antifouling (AF) properties of phytochemicals isolated from the Mediterranean brown
seaweed Taonia atomaria have been assayed against several colonizing organisms. Eight …

Polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) have become a ubiquitous environmental threat that can
harm living organisms. Other pollutants such as copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) bind with …

The expanded use of copper (I)-based antifouling paints (AF) has increased copper
leaching into coastal environments, requiring attention and legislative restrictions for …

Members of the infraclass Cirripedia, commonly called barnacles, are unique among the
subphylum Crustacea in that they exhibit a biphasic life cycle with a planktonic larval stage …

Cu nanoparticles (CuNPs) have been widely used in numerous products, and may become
a potential threat to marine organisms, but their behavior in the marine environments and …

With the ban of tributyltin, copper‐based biocides are now widely used in antifouling
coatings as the major active ingredients. Given the past experience of heavy‐metal …

A need exists for appropriate tools to evaluate risk and monitor potential effects of
contaminants in tropical marine environments, as currently impact assessments are …
