Journal ArticleDOI
Amphibians and agricultural chemicals: Review of the risks in a complex environment
TL;DR: This review examines some of the issues relating to exposure of amphibian populations to these chemicals and places emphasis on mechanisms of toxicity, including those that may disrupt thyroid activity, retinoid pathways, and sexual differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the mass of microplastics ingested - A pivotal first step towards human health risk assessment.
Kala Senathirajah,Simon Attwood,Geetika Bhagwat,Maddison Carbery,Scott P. Wilson,Thava Palanisami +5 more
TL;DR: This was the first attempt to transform microplastic counts into a mass value relevant to human toxicology, and estimated that globally on average, humans may ingest 0.1-5 g of microplastics weekly through various exposure pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
The utility of behavioral studies for aquatic toxicology testing: A meta-analysis
Steven D. Melvin,Scott P. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis comparing the relative sensitivities and average durations of behavioral studies to those assessing acute lethality, development and reproduction concludes that behavioral studies are comparatively fast and sensitive, and warrant further attention as tools for assessing the toxicological effects of environmental contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomarker responses in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae exposed to pristine low-density polyethylene fragments.
TL;DR: There is evidence that virgin short-term exposure to LDPE fragments has minimal impact on biomarker responses in D. rerio larvae, and the expression of casp9, casp3a, and casp4a were significantly lower in the larvae sampled at day 20 than day 10.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ugly face of tourism: Marine debris pollution linked to visitation in the southern Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Scott P. Wilson,Krista M. Verlis +1 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate the contribution of tourists to this problem and that working with operators and managers is needed to minimise visitor impacts.
