Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments.
TL;DR: Global plastics production and the accumulation of plastic waste are documented, showing that trends in mega- and macro-plastic accumulation rates are no longer uniformly increasing and that the average size of plastic particles in the environment seems to be decreasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity: Invasions by marine life on plastic debris
TL;DR: This paper investigates the colonization by marine organisms of drift debris deposited on the shores of 30 remote islands from the Arctic to the Antarctic and finds that human litter more than doubles the rafting opportunities for biota, particularly at high latitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Current and expected changes in ASO physical habitats in response to climate change are reviewed, including how these changes may impact the autecology of marine biota: microbes, zooplankton, salps, Antarctic krill, fish, cephalopods, marine mammals, seabirds, and benthos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change and the marine ecosystem of the western Antarctic Peninsula
Andrew Clarke,Eugene J. Murphy,Michael P. Meredith,John C. King,Lloyd S. Peck,David K. A. Barnes,Raymond C. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Of the changes observed in the marine ecosystem of the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region to date, alterations in winter sea ice dynamics are the most likely to have had a direct impact on the marine fauna, principally through shifts in the extent and timing of habitat for ice-associated biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Millimeter-Sized Marine Plastics: A New Pelagic Habitat for Microorganisms and Invertebrates
Julia Reisser,Jeremy Shaw,Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff,Maíra Carneiro Proietti,David K. A. Barnes,Michele Thums,Chris Wilcox,Britta Denise Hardesty,Charitha Pattiaratchi +8 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted how anthropogenic millimeter-sized polymers have created a new pelagic habitat for microorganisms and invertebrates in Australia-wide coastal and oceanic, tropical to temperate sample collections.
