An enigma: A meta-analysis reveals the effect of ubiquitous microplastics on different taxa in aquatic systems
Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems globally, with tropical freshwater systems underrepresented in the literature. The ubiquity of microplastics may affect the feeding, growth, reproduction, and survival of organisms in aquatic systems; however, the data on the potential effects of mi...
