Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic ingestion as an evolutionary trap: Toward a holistic understanding
Robson Guimarães dos Santos,Gabriel E. Machovsky-Capuska,Gabriel E. Machovsky-Capuska,Ryan Andrades +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors unify evolutionary, ecological, and cognitive approaches under the evolutionary trap theory and identify three main factors that may drive plastic ingestion: availability of plastics in the environment, an individual's acceptance threshold, and the overlap of cues given by natural foods and plastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Debris ingestion by juvenile marine turtles: An underestimated problem
TL;DR: The impact of debris ingestion in 265 green turtles over a large geographical area and different habitats along the Brazilian coast was analysed and it was found that a surprisingly small amount of debris was sufficient to block the digestive tract and cause death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine debris ingestion and Thayer's law – The importance of plastic color
Robson Guimarães dos Santos,Robson Guimarães dos Santos,Ryan Andrades,Lorena M. Fardim,Agnaldo Silva Martins +4 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that marine animals that perceive floating plastic from below should preferentially ingest dark plastic fragments, whereas animals that perceiving floating plastics from above should select for paler plastic fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine debris in Trindade Island, a remote island of the South Atlantic.
Ryan Andrades,Robson Guimarães dos Santos,Jean-Christophe Joyeux,David Chelazzi,Alessandra Cincinelli,Tommaso Giarrizzo +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides baseline information on Trindade macro-debris demonstrating that the island, located on the edge of the South Atlantic Gyre, acts as a sink for gyre debris, exposing the island fauna to the threats related to plastic contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mangrove clearing impacts on macrofaunal assemblages and benthic food webs in a tropical estuary.
Angelo F. Bernardino,Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira Gomes,Heliatrice Louise Hadlich,Ryan Andrades,Lucas Barreto Correa +4 more
TL;DR: The loss of infaunal trophic diversity that followed mangroves removal suggests that large-scale forest clearing may impact estuarine food webs, with potential consequences to nearby coastal ecosystems given the high clearing rate of mangrove forests in Brazil.
