This review synthesises information from published articles on the incorporation of pollutants
by macroinvertebrates from sandy beaches, including both field samplings and bioassays …

Coastal heavy-metal contamination poses significant risks to marine ecosystems and human
health, necessitating comprehensive research for effective mitigation strategies. This study …

The concentration and bioaccumulation of heavy metals were investigated in four distinct
components (water, sediment, benthic organisms, and fish) in the Ennore estuary. The …

Abstract Heavy metal (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Cd, As) concentrations, distribution and
bioaccumulation were studied in marine organisms in Guangdong coastal regions. Heavy …

The present paper assesses the use of the supralittoral amphipod Talitrus saltator as a
bioindicator of the effects of human trampling on the supralittoral sandy band. Samplings in …

Sandy beach ecosystems are particularly affected by plastic pollution. Supralittoral
amphipods are important components of the food web in sandy beaches and their ability to …

In recent decades, biological diversity has received increased interest. However, most
studies are related to terrestrial systems, and knowledge of marine biodiversity lags behind …

Trace metals are one of the groups of pollutants that reduce genetic variability in natural
populations, causing the phenomenon known as “genetic erosion”. In this study we evaluate …

Given the increasing need to protect vulnerable freshwater ecosystems and make them
more resilient to human use and climate change, biomonitoring of the hyporheic zone (HZ) …

Due to the lack of knowledge regarding annual bioaccumulation rates in estuarine and
marine fauna, the main aim of this work was to study the annual mercury bioaccumulation in …
