Antarctica stands as one of the most isolated and pristine regions on our planet. Regardless,
recent studies have evidenced the presence of plastic pollution in Antarctic environments …

In recent years, significant efforts have been dedicated to measuring and comprehending
the impact of microplastics (MPs) in the ocean. Despite harmonization guidelines for MPs …

Global plastic production has surged since the 1960s, resulting in the pervasive presence of
microplastics in the environment, yet there is a substantial gap in understanding historical …

Monitoring the movement of plastic into marine food webs is central to understanding and
mitigating the plastic pollution crisis. Bioindicators have been a component of the …

Highlights•We used drones to measure behaviour and morphology of eastern grey
whales.•Whale foraging behaviours were associated with morphology and habitat …

Baleen whales are ecosystem sentinels of microplastic pollution. Research indicates that
they likely ingest millions of anthropogenic microparticles per day when feeding. Their …

Micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and have been detected
in most ecosystems, including remote regions. The class of contaminants under the MNP …

Recently, there has been an increasing emphasis on examining the ecotoxicological effects
of anthropogenic microparticles (MPs), especially microplastic particles, and related issues …

We consider how the ongoing recovery of baleen whale populations requires improved
understanding when managing the largest commercial fishery in the Southern Ocean, the …

Introduction Plastics carried in the outflow of major rivers can be made available and
subsequently ingested by marine fishes, causing lethal and sublethal effects. Highly …
