I investigate great skua pellets and prey remains to study their diet, and more recently to investigate plastic occurence in the seabird foodchain. Can you guess the prey species? #ecotoxicology #seabirds #plastic

A new study from Lauren Zink and colleagues finds that #microplastics do not cross a fish's gut membrane, but can carry other contaminants, like cadmium, that do.

Want to know more about levels of pollution in wastewater?
#Ecotoxicology is the answer.
๐ค Hear from expert Didier Neuzeret from @ToxMate to find out what invertebrates can tell us about micropollutants in water.

Wonder how #ecology, #ecotoxicology & #environmental chemistry could join forces to address chemical #pollution in #biodiversity #research?
Great!
Ksenia Groh and myself, together with a number of great colleaguesย just published something for you in Global Change Biology.
It will be made #openaccess soon and we are still waiting for the copyediting, but as you are so excited to read the piece asap, here it is ๐

Some parasites are able to accumulate pollutants from their host ! Could they be helpful in polluted environments? ๐ฎ
May pollutant exposure shift biotic interactions from parasitism to mutualism? ๐ค๐ง

Latest paper out led by PhD student Georgia Sinclair, "Is substrate choice an overlooked variable in #ecotoxicology experiments?" looks at the issue of substrate choice for toxicology experiments. By measuring small molecule metabolites (#metabolomics) we show that the metabolic effects of #contaminants on organisms can vary by substrate even when using artificial, clean material.

Many years ago, I was a researcher in #freshwater ecology. I was very interested to read new research how chemicals in the water can affect the behavior of fish, and wrote a blog about that: https://www.noldus.com/blog/cpc-zebrafish

Especially the very low statistical power might also question the reliability of attempts to assess the risks of #microplastics (NOEC -> PNECยดs for chronic toxicity).
Any thoughts/opinions on this, #plasticpollution community?
