Insect Interactions with Microplastics Under Different Ecosystems
Summary
This review examines how insects interact with microplastics across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, including ingestion, bioaccumulation, and trophic transfer to insectivorous predators. Insects are key links in food webs connecting environmental microplastic contamination to vertebrate animals and humans, making their role in microplastic transfer a critical and underappreciated exposure pathway.
Microplastic pollution (<5 mm in size) is undoubtedly considered a massive threat to living organisms across the globe in almost all ecosystems, i.e., aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These microplastic particles are transferred across food chains and food...
