Polyethylene Microplastics Affected Survival Rate, Food Intake and Altered Oxidative Stress Parameters in Freshwater Snail Indoplanorbis exustus
Microplastics have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems. Gastropod mollusks serve as bioindicators and are good model systems for ecotoxicological...

Radiological hazard assessment of 210Po in freshwater mussels (Sinanodonta jourdyi) and golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Vietnam
210 Po is a significant source of ionizing radiation that people are exposed to through food globally. This paper presents the wide range of...

From the Seafloor to the Surface: a Global Review of Gastropods as Bioindicators of Marine Microplastics
Microplastic (MP) pollution is a prevalent problem in marine ecosystems. These particles are often consumed unintentionally by marine organisms due...

Biodiversity of Marine Animals: Introduction to Marine Animals with a Focus on Taxonomy
A vast variety of animals can be encountered on the seashore. These marine animals are often taxonomically, morphologically, physiologically, and...

Assessment of the Effects of Environmental Concentrations of Microplastics on the Aquatic Snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum
Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems. They can be found at the surface, in the water column, and in sediments. Multiple negative...

Polyethylene microplastic toxicity to the terrestrial snail Cantareus aspersus: size matters
Plastic has become the most widespread human-made material and small fragments (< 5mm, so called microplastics, MPs) accumulate in all the...

Level of oxidative stress for the land snail Cepaea nemoralis from aged and bioremediated soil contaminated with petroleum products
Here, we investigated whether the widely distributed snail Cepaea nemoralis could be used as a suitable sentinel animal for assessing the effects of...

Toxicity of ionic liquids in marine and freshwater microorganisms and invertebrates: state of the art
The variety of applications and expected growth in ionic liquid production are raising concerns about the release of these compounds into aquatic...

Toxicity assessment and detoxification metabolism of sodium pentachlorophenol (PCP-Na) on marine economic species: a case study of Moerella iridescens and Exopalaemon carinicauda
Sodium pentachlorophenol (PCP-Na) is widespread in the marine environment; however, its impact on marine organisms remains under-researched. Moerella...

Abundance of Microplastics in Marine and Freshwater Ecosystem and it’s Impact on Biotic and Abiotic Components
The article focuses on the abundance of microplastics (MPs) in various environmental matrices, such as sediment and water, and their potential...

Biomonitoring of manganese metal pollution in water and its impacts on biological activities of Biomphalaria alexandrina snail and larvicidal potencies
Metal pollution has many dangerous environmental and human health consequences due to the bioaccumulation in the tissues. The present study aims to...

Deep seafloor hydrothermal vent communities buried by volcanic ash from the 2022 Hunga eruption
Mass mortality of marine animals due to volcanic ash deposition is present in the fossil record but has rarely been documented in real time. Here,...
