One-year variation in quantity and properties of microplastics in mussels (Myti...
Botelho, M. J.; Vale, C.; Marques, F.; Moreirinha, C.; Costa, S. T.; Guilhermino, L.; Joaquim, S.; Matias, D.; Candeias, M.; Rudnitskaya, A.As filter feeders, marine bivalves inhabiting estuarine and coastal areas are directly exposed to microplastics (MPs) in water. To assess whether MPs number, and their shape, size, colour, and polymer type present in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and cockles (Cerastoderma edule) varied over one year, bivalves were collected over the year of 2019 in the lower part of the coastal Aveiro lagoon, Portugal. Af...

Relative sensitivity of soft-bottom intertidal macrofauna to increased CO2 and ...
Range, Pedro; Martins, M.; Cabral, Sara; Piló, David; Ben-Hamadou, Radhouan; Chicharo, Maria Alexandra Teodosio; Miguel de Sousa Leitão, FranciscoWe used a controlled CO2 perturbation experiment to test hypotheses about changes in diversity, composition and structure of soft-bottom intertidal macrobenthic assemblages, under realistic and locally relevant scenarios of seawater acidification. Patches of undisturbed sediment were collected from 2 types of intertidal sedimentary habitat in the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon (South Portugal) and exposed to 2 leve...
