Our new @adriftlab.bsky.social paper is out, lead by @alixdejersey.bsky.social showing the insidious impacts of plastics on seemingly health birds (1/5) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Seabirds in crisis: Plastic ingestion induces proteomic signatures of multiorgan failure and neurodegeneration

Plastic consumption in seabirds causes blood signatures of widespread organ damage including brain, stomach, kidney, and liver.

✨NEW PAPER✨ After 3 yrs this method is out! ➡️An index to reduce uncertainty in distinguishing entanglements in fishing-related items between OFG & ALDFG ➡️Vital as different measures are needed to tackle each problem (operational fishing vs. marine debris) doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2025.178950

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 🥳 This article used data about plastic ingestion in adult shearwaters collected dead in the Azores. It was discovered for the first time that seabirds such as shearwaters 'reset' plastic concentrations. Find out more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

A new study led by @yasminarodriguez.bsky.social about how Corys shearwaters reset their plastic loads during the breeding season #plasticpollution #marinedebris #seabirds #ornithology doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

✨We kick off the year with a newly published paper exploring plastic ingestion in adult shearwaters✨ ✳️Our findings reveal that due to feeding their offspring, adults reset their plastic loads ✳️Crucial insights for using seabirds as bioindicators Paper open access 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

🔊 Take a look at this review we collaborated on. The study critically examines global long-term #monitoring programs using #bioindicators for #plastic #pollution. While many species might have the potential, only a few programs have been effectively implemented. Read it 👇 doi.org/10.1039/D4VA...

Hoje, destacamos este artigo que analisa de que forma os bioindicadores de plástico - espécies que nos ajudam a monitorizar a poluição por plásticos - são utilizados no ambiente marinho. Vê o artigo completo aqui: doi.org/10.1039/D4VA...

Science has shown that #Plastic pollution is driven by plastic production, i.e. supply. Supply-side measures are thus essential to adequately tackle pollution and its effects on human and ecosystem health as well as climate! #PlasticsTreaty #INC5 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Predicted growth in plastic waste exceeds efforts to mitigate plastic pollution

Even the most optimistic scenario projects huge amounts of plastic pollution in the coming decades.

Good to see clothing included here, an often overlooked source of plastic waste. We have a big programme on that at #Exeter now and the global numbers are shocking. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We need to talk about plastic: five everyday items choking the planet

It is one of the world’s most dangerous materials, and global leaders are meeting in South Korea to thrash out a treaty to curb its effects

Five charts: Why a UN plastics treaty matters for climate change - Carbon Brief

A global treaty on plastics, touted as the most important environmental treaty since the Paris Agreement, will be negotiated in South Korea.
