Patterns of plastic ingestion in Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) populations breeding in northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-07)
Human waste is a global concern, and volumes are growing rapidly. For opportunistic species, like many birds, urban waste offers alternative food which in turn may lead to plastic ingestion with potential negative effects. ...
Microplastic ingestion and feeding ecology in three intertidal mollusk species from Lima, Peru
(Universidad de Valparaíso, 2020)
The use of anthropogenic debris as nesting material by the greater thornbird, an inland–wetland-associated bird of South America
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-07)
Plastic pollution has become a globally pressing environmental issue. In birds, plastic may cause harm by entangling or ingestion when used for nesting. The use of anthropogenic nesting material has so far been mostly ...
Microplastics ingestion by a common tropical freshwater fishing resource
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2017)
Microplastics pollution is widespread in marine ecosystems and a major threat to biodiversity. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the impacts of microplastics in freshwater environments and biota is still very limited. The ...
Microplastics in gut contents of coastal freshwater fish from Río de la Plata estuary
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-09)
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in gut contents of coastal freshwater fish of the Rio de la Plata estuary was studied. Samples were taken in six sites where 87 fish belonging to 11 species and four feeding habits were ...
Presence and characterization of microplastics in fish of commercial importance from the Biobio region in central Chile
(Facultad de Ingeniería y Tecnología, 2019)
In this study we have identified and characterized microplastic particles (MPs) found in six fish species of commercial importance in central Chile. The fish species belong to different trophic levels and were obtained ...
Monitoring the occurrence of microplastic ingestion in Otariids along the Peruvian and Chilean coasts
(Elsevier Inc., 2020-04)
Repeated reports of microplastic pollution in the marine pinniped diet have emerged in the last years. However, only few studies address the drivers of microplastics presence and the potential implications for monitoring ...
Variação na dieta da tartaruga verde, Chelonia mydas, e o impacto da ingestão de lixo ao longo da costa brasileira
(2014)
Neste trabalho nós estudamos a dieta da tartaruga verde, Chelonia mydas, e os fatores envolvidos na variação de sua ecologia alimentar. Avaliamos também o impacto da ingestão de lixo, e os fatores que podem explicar a ...
