Polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics affect locomotion and daily activity of<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

Uptake and effects of polystyrene micro- and nanospheres on Drosophila melanogaster were studied, finding that both sizes of plastic particles affected locomotion and daily activity patterns. The results suggest that microplastic and nanoplastic ingestion can disrupt behavioral functions in the fruit fly model.
