The potential ... -
Tools and constraints in monitoring interactions between marine litter and megafauna: Insights from case studies around the world
Claro, Francoise; Fossi, Maria Cristina; Ioakeimidis, Christos; Baini, Matteo; Lusher, Amy L; McFee, Wayne; McIntosh, Rebecca Ruth; Pelamatti, Tania; Sorce, Meaghan; Galgani, François; Hardesty, Britta Denise (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Adverse impacts of marine litter is documented on >1400 species, including marine megafauna (fish, birds, sea turtles and mammals). The primary impacts include ingestion and entanglement, and there is increasing concern ... -
Using mussel as a global bioindicator of coastal microplastic pollution
Li, Jiana; Lusher, Amy L; Rotchell, Jeanette M.; Deudero, Salud; Turra, Alexander; Bråte, Inger Lise N; Sun, Chengjun; Hossain, M. Shahadat; Li, Qipei; Kolandhasamy, Prabhu; Shi, Huahong (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The ubiquity and high bioavailability of microplastics have an unknown risk on the marine environment. Biomonitoring should be used to investigate biotic impacts of microplastic exposure. While many studies have used mussels ... -
Validation of a Method for Extracting Microplastics from Complex, Organic-Rich, Environmental Matrices
Hurley, Rachel R; Lusher, Amy L; Olsen, Marianne; Nizzetto, Luca (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Complex and organic-rich solid substrates such as sludge and soil have been shown to be contaminated by microplastics; however, methods for extracting plastic particles have not yet been systemically tested or standardized. ...
