TL;DR: Ingested artificial fibers of various sizes and colors were found in 27.6% of the digestive tracts of the nine dominant species regardless of their trophic level or taxon and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the ingested AFs were composed of viscose, an artificial, cellulose-based polymer.

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to identify and compare, using nitrogen and carbon stable isotope data, the food sources supporting consumer communities in a Mediterranean seagrass bed with those in an adjacent epilithic alga-dominated community.

TL;DR: This paper synthesises the existing methods applied to monitor P. oceanica meadows, identifies the most suitable techniques and suggests future research directions, and shows the interest of a practical guide that describes, in a standardized way, the most useful techniques enabling P. Oceanica meadow to be used as an environmental descriptor.

TL;DR: Tuna muscles display higher d 15 N than in common and striped dolphins and the presence of two levels of cadmium concentrations in the livers of the tunas suggest that in the Biscay Bay, tunas occupy two diAerent ecological niches probably based ondiAerent squid inputs in their diet.

TL;DR: The findings showed trophic magnification factors (TMF) above 1, demonstrating that THg is being biomagnified up the food chains in Rio de Janeiro bays, indicating substantial contribution of atmospheric nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria.
