Nanoplastics Modulate the Outcome of Zooplankton- Microparasite Interactions
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a supplementary data and code archive associated with a study examining how nanoplastics affect interactions between zooplankton and their microparasites. The underlying research investigates whether nanoplastic exposure changes the outcome of host-parasite relationships in aquatic ecosystems.
Nanoplastics modulate the outcome of a zooplankton–microparasite interaction
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that nanoplastics can alter the outcome of zooplankton-microparasite interactions, demonstrating that plastic pollution at the nanoscale may disrupt host-parasite dynamics in freshwater ecosystems with cascading ecological effects.
Ecotoxicological Effects of Microplastics in Marine Zooplankton
AI summary Read the abstract
Marine zooplankton ingest microplastics, mistaking them for food, which reduces feeding, impairs reproduction, and can transfer particles up the food chain. Because zooplankton form the base of marine food webs, their ecotoxicological responses to microplastics have cascading consequences for ocean ecosystems and human seafood consumers.
Does microplastic ingestion by zooplankton affect predator-prey interactions? An experimental study on larviphagy
AI summary Read the abstract
Filter feeders consumed significantly fewer zooplankton prey that had ingested microplastics compared to uncontaminated prey, suggesting that microplastic ingestion makes zooplankton less appealing or nutritious. This effect on predation could have cascading consequences for marine food webs.
How do microplastics affect the marine microbial loop? Predation of microplastics by microzooplankton
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined how micro- and nanoplastics affect marine protozoans that serve as key links in the microbial loop, the process of material and energy cycling in ocean ecosystems. Results showed that both size classes of plastic particles impaired protozoan predation on bacteria, potentially disrupting carbon and nutrient transfer in marine microbial food webs.
