Marine mussel-based biomarkers as risk indicators to assess oceanic region-specific microplastics impact potential

Chi-Yun Chen et al.

Summary: The overall impact potential of MPs on marine mussels in the South Pacific Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and South Atlantic Ocean was found to be low, while MPs from the North Pacific Ocean were likely to pose a potential threat. This highlights important implications for understanding the relationships between environmental MPs and the exposure risk for marine organisms in different oceanic regions worldwide.

Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology

F. M. Mendrik et al.

Summary: The study found that the impact of microplastic on corals depends on the type of microplastic, coral species, and temperature. Microplastic fibers reduced the photosynthetic capability of Acropora sp., while exposure to microplastic spheres significantly improved photosynthetic performance in Seriatopora hystrix.

Interactions and effects of microplastics with heavy metals in aquatic and terrestrial environments

Noreen Khalid et al.

Summary: Contamination of waters and soils with microplastics (MPs) is a global environmental issue, posing a threat to ecosystems and organism health; The co-occurrence of MPs with heavy metals may enhance the transfer of toxic metals in the food chain; Understanding the interactions of MPs with heavy metals in different ecosystems is crucial for assessing their ecotoxic effects.

High regenerative capacity is a general feature within colonial dendrophylliid corals (Anthozoa, Scleractinia)

Bruna Louise Pereira Luz et al.

Summary: The regenerative capacity of cnidarians plays a crucial role in the maintenance and restoration of coral reef ecosystems. It may contribute to the dispersal and success of invasive species in nonnative habitats. Different coral species exhibited varying regenerative abilities influenced by food supply and fragment size, with potential for T. coccinea to be used as a laboratory model for regeneration studies.

Differential enrichment and physiological impacts of ingested microplastics in scleractinian corals in situ

Jia Tang et al.

Summary: Through investigating the distribution of microplastics in the environment and inhabiting organisms, it was found that microplastics have a preferential enrichment in organisms and show a clear correlation with the symbiotic density in corals. Different species of corals exhibit differential stress responses to microplastics, with large-polyp corals showing higher tolerance.

Microplastics impair growth in two atlantic scleractinian coral species, Pseudodiploria clivosa and Acropora cervicornis

Cheryl Hankins et al.

Summary: Experimental results show that the intake of microplastics by scleractinian coral is influenced by environmental factors, and long-term exposure has negative effects on their growth responses.

Scleractinian corals incorporate microplastic particles: identification from a laboratory study

Florian Hierl et al.

Summary: This study conducted an experiment on the effects of microplastic pollution on skeletal precipitation in coral reefs, finding that plastic particles and fibers were incorporated into the coral skeletal structure during the experiment. The long-term consequences of such inclusions on skeletal properties like stability are still unknown.

Influence of Microplastics on the Mobility, Bioavailability, and Toxicity of Heavy Metals: A Review

Guangxia Liu et al.

Summary: This review discusses the effects of microplastics (MPs) on the adsorption/desorption, speciation and bioavailability, and toxicity of various heavy metals, while systematically identifying environmental factors that could affect their interaction processes. It aims to establish a meaningful perspective for understanding the indirect ecological risks of MPs as vectors for contaminants and provides a reference for developing better regulatory strategies to mitigate the negative effects of the co-existence of MPs and heavy metals.

Effects of Microplastics Exposure on the Acropora sp. Antioxidant, Immunization and Energy Metabolism Enzyme Activities

Baohua Xiao et al.

Summary: The study revealed that microplastic pollution has adverse physiological effects on corals, leading to the release of endosymbionts and reduction in chlorophyll content. Furthermore, exposure to microplastics may disrupt antioxidant, immune, and energy metabolism processes in corals.
