AI summary Read the abstract
This educational paper describes how microplastic analysis in marine organisms was incorporated as a final degree project for undergraduate chemistry students at the University of La Laguna in Spain.
Occurrence of microplastics in three wild species of sea urchins (Paracentrotus lividus, Arbacia lixula and Diadema africanum) from the coastal area of Tenerife and La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain).
AI summary Read the abstract
Three species of sea urchins from the Canary Islands were found to have ingested microplastics, likely from coastal runoff and submarine outfalls. Sea urchins play a key ecological role in structuring rocky coastal ecosystems, so microplastic contamination in these animals could have broader effects on marine food webs. The findings add to growing evidence that microplastics have penetrated even ecologically important invertebrate species in coastal waters.

Microplastics and Sea Urchin Life: A Review of Distribution and Implications in Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
This meta-analysis reviews microplastic distribution in sea urchins across Indonesian waters. The research found microplastics present in sea urchin populations across multiple marine environments. This matters because sea urchins are consumed as food in many coastal communities, making them a potential pathway for microplastics to enter the human diet.
Microplastics in specific tissues of wild sea urchins along the coastal areas of northern China
AI summary Read the abstract
Sea urchins collected from 12 sites across nearly 3,000 km of northern China's coastline were analyzed for microplastic accumulation in specific tissues, with contamination detected at all sites and significant variation in abundance, type, and polymer composition across locations.
