Plastics are persistent synthetic polymers that accumulate as waste in the marine environment.
Microplastic (MP) particles are derived from the breakdown of larger debris or can enter …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence and potential toxic effects of plastic
fragments (<400 μm) of polyethylene and polypropylene on the Pacific oyster Crassostrea …

The impact of a microplastic (MP) mixture composed of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene
(PP) plastic particles, prepared from commercially available products, was evaluated in …

The effects of polystyrene microbeads (micro-PS; mix of 2 and 6 μm; final concentration: 32
μg L −1 ) alone or in combination with fluoranthene (30 μg L −1 ) on marine mussels Mytilus …

Marine intertidal organisms commonly face hypoxic stress during low tide emersion;
moreover, eutrophic conditions and sediment nearness could lead to hypoxic phenomena; it is …

As oxygen concentrations in marine coastal habitats can fluctuate rapidly and drastically,
sessile marine organisms such as the oyster Crassostrea gigas can experience marked and …

Human‐mediated transport creates secondary contacts between genetically differentiated
lineages, bringing new opportunities for gene exchange. When similar introductions occur in …

Studies on impacts of emerging contaminants are challenging, as is the case for studying
the smallest sizes (< 100 μm) of microplastics, mainly because there is no clear view of their …

Environmental epigenetic is an emerging field that studies the cause–effect relationship
between environmental factors and heritable trait via an alteration in epigenetic marks. This field …

Intertidal organisms have to face daily high oxygen variations from hypoxic to hyperoxic
conditions. To cope with such constraints, these organisms must have well developed …
