Researchers assessed the toxicity of polyethylene microspheres to the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus and the cladoceran Daphnia magna under controlled laboratory conditions. Both species showed dose-dependent reductions in reproduction and survival, with Daphnia demonstrating greater sensitivity to physical effects of particle ingestion.
