Environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics modulated the immune response and swimming activity, and impaired the development of marine medaka Oryzias melastigma larvae

Jin-Can Chen et al.

Summary: This study indicates that exposure to polystyrene microplastics can induce inflammation response and impair immune functions and growth development of marine medaka larvae. Accumulation of polystyrene microplastics results in hyperactive behavior in the larvae.

Summary: This study confirmed that polyethylene microplastics can accumulate in animals, affect their behavior, and this impact can be passed on to higher trophic levels in the food chain, negatively impacting the survival of animals.

Skewed sex ratio and gametogenesis gene expression in eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) exposed to plastic pollution

Rylinn Sorini et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution poses complex threats to marine organisms, impacting survival, growth, and sex ratio. Exposure to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic altered the sex ratio of eastern oysters, resulting in more females than expected, although gene expression was not significantly impacted. Further research into underlying genes affecting gamete differentiation and sex determination is warranted.

Environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics influence the locomotor activity of aquatic biota

Tao Sun et al.

Summary: The study found that exposure to microplastics in the environment significantly reduced the locomotor ability of aquatic organisms, including average speed and moving distance, likely resulting in various physiological changes such as reduced energy reserves, metabolic disorders, and gut microbiota dysbiosis.

Animal contests and microplastics: evidence of disrupted behaviour in hermit crabs Pagurus bernhardus

Eoghan M. Cunningham et al.

Summary: Microplastics have been shown to impair shell selection and contest behavior in hermit crabs, affecting their survival and adaptability. Exposed defenders required higher raps per bout and longer durations to be evicted in contests when attackers were pre-exposed to different conditions, indicating broader deleterious effects on marine biota.

Microplastics alone or co-exposed with copper induce neurotoxicity and behavioral alterations on zebrafish larvae after a subchronic exposure

Dercia Santos et al.

Summary: The study found that both MPs and Cu have adverse effects on the survival and behavior patterns of zebrafish larvae, including reducing swimming speed, affecting avoidance behavior, and inhibiting AChE activity. This highlights the significant impacts of MPs and heavy metals on fish early life stages behavior.
