The effect of microplastics on Daphnia fitness – systematic review and meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis pools data from multiple studies to assess how micro and nanoplastic exposure affects Daphnia, a key freshwater organism used to gauge water health. The evidence shows that plastic particles can harm Daphnia reproduction, which is important because these organisms are a foundational part of freshwater food webs that ultimately connect to human food and water sources.
Review on the ecotoxicological impacts of plastic pollution on the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia
This review examines the ecotoxicological impacts of plastic pollution on the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia, a widely used model organism. Researchers highlight that microplastics affect Daphnia reproduction, growth, and survival, and that chemicals leaching from plastics may contribute additional toxic effects that transfer through food webs.
Effects of Microplastics on Reproduction and Growth of Freshwater Live Feeds Daphnia magna
Researchers found that microplastic exposure negatively affected reproduction and juvenile growth in Daphnia magna, a key freshwater zooplankton species, with effects worsening at higher concentrations and posing risks for aquatic food chains.
Significant decline of Daphnia magna population biomass due to microplastic exposure
Stable Daphnia magna populations were exposed to primary microplastics (1–5 μm) at concentrations ranging from 10⁴ to 10⁷ particles/mL for three weeks, resulting in a significant decline in population biomass at higher concentrations. The study demonstrates that population-level endpoints reveal microplastic effects that are missed by single-organism toxicity tests, highlighting the need for realistic long-term exposure experiments.
