Farklı tatlı su omurgasız gruplarının mikroplastik alımının değerlendirilmesi ve karşılaştırılması
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluated and compared microplastic uptake across different groups of freshwater invertebrates in a master's thesis examining how various invertebrate taxa differ in their exposure and ingestion of microplastic particles.

Microplastics Abundance in Aquatic Environment and its Impact on Macrobenthos
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastic pollution affects macrobenthic communities across marine and freshwater ecosystems, documenting impaired feeding, oxidative damage, and developmental defects in organisms ranging from sponges and corals to mollusks, crustaceans, and echinoderms.
Random or not? Comparing Microplastic Ingestion and Preys in Scomber colias and Trachurus trachurus
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined microplastic ingestion in two commercially important fish species—Scomber colias and Trachurus trachurus—comparing ingested plastic characteristics to prey items to assess whether ingestion was selective or random. Understanding whether fish actively or incidentally consume microplastics has direct implications for estimating human dietary exposure through seafood consumption.
Microplastics in Freshwater Environments: Sources, Behaviour, and Ecotoxicity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed sources, transport behavior, and ecotoxicological impacts of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, finding that rivers and lakes are both pathways and sinks for plastic particles and that biological effects on freshwater organisms remain poorly characterized compared to marine systems.
Microplastics in Aquatic Systems: Sources, Accumulation, Environmental Impact and Mitigation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes how microplastics enter aquatic ecosystems, where they accumulate, and what harm they cause to wildlife and water quality — while also evaluating mitigation strategies, highlighting that both primary sources like microbeads and secondary sources like degrading plastic waste need to be addressed.
