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?

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

"In vitro characterization of cadmium transport across the gastro-intestinal membrane of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) in the presence and absence of microplastics"

Wonder how , & chemistry could join forces to address chemical in ?

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 soon and we are still waiting for the copyediting, but as you are so excited to read the piece asap, here it is ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

Many years ago, I was a researcher in 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: noldus.com/blog/cpc-zebrafish

Especially the very low statistical power might also question the reliability of attempts to assess the risks of (NOEC -> PNECยดs for chronic toxicity).

Any thoughts/opinions on this, community?
