Impact of microplastic leachates on the anti-predator behaviour of the intertidal limpet: Cellana nigrolineata
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined how chemical leachates from microplastics affect the anti-predator behavior of the intertidal limpet Cellana nigrolineata, a key grazing species in rocky shore communities. Behavioral disruption in foundation species by microplastic-derived chemicals has cascading implications for intertidal ecosystem structure and prey-predator dynamics.
