In this study, we evaluated accumulation and adverse effects of ingestion of microplastics in
the monogonont rotifer (Brachionus koreanus). The dependence of microplastic toxicity on …

In environmental risk assessments (ERA), biomarkers have been widely used as an early
warning signal of environmental contamination. However, biomarker responses have …

Among the various materials found inside microplastic pollution, nanosized microplastics
are of particular concern due to difficulties in quantification and detection; moreover, they are …

Understanding patterns and processes in biological diversity is a critical task given current
and rapid environmental change. Such knowledge is even more essential when the taxa …

Microplastics (MPs) are a major concern in marine ecosystem because MPs are persistent
and ubiquitous in oceans and are easily consumed by marine biota. Although many studies …

Adaptation to different ecological niches is considered one of the main drivers of species
diversification, also in cryptic species complexes, notwithstanding their morphological stasis …

Sorption of organic pollutants on microplastics can be an alternative uptake route for organic
pollutants in aquatic organisms. To assess the combined effects of microplastics and organic …

Pharmaceuticals are widely used in human and veterinary medicine. However, they are
emerging as a significant contaminant in aquatic environments through wastewater. Due to …

Abstract Triclosan (TCS) and Triclocarban (TCC) are used as antimicrobial agents and have
been widely dispersed and detected in the marine environment. However, the toxicities of …

The increased use of disinfectants due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (eg
COVID-19) has caused burden in the environment but knowledge on its ecotoxicological …
