Mediated food and hydrodynamics on the ingestion of microplastics by Daphnia magna
Open accessAbstract
There is consensus on the need to study the potential impact microplastics (MP) have on freshwater planktonic organisms. It is not yet fully understood how MP enter the aquatic food web or the effect they have on all the trophic levels. As a result of the potential for MP to accumulate throughout food webs, there is increasing interest in evaluating their fate in a variety of environmental conditions. This study investigated the variability in the ingestion of MP to food ratios and the exposed time of MP to Daphnia magna in non-sheared and sheared conditions. The sheared environment provided Daphnia magna with the conditions for optimal filtering capacity. Regardless of the ratios of MP concentration to food concentration (MP:Food), the filtration capacity of the Daphnia magna was enhanced in the sheared experiments. In both the sheared and non-sheared experiments, filtration capacity decreased when the ratios of MP to food concentration and the exposure times to MP were increased. Mortality was mainly enhanced in the non-sheared conditions at higher MP concentrations and exposure times to MP. No mortality was found in the sheared conditions for the exposure times studied. Therefore, in aquatic systems that undergo constant low sheared conditions, Daphnia magna can survive longer when exposed to MP than in calm conditions, provided food concentrations do not limit their capacity to filter.

Microplastics have been shown to have a range of effects on freshwater Daphnia, including decreased filtration capacity, food intake, growth, swimming velocity, and reproductive output, and increased mortality.
“Microplastics have been shown to have a range of effects on freshwater Daphnia.For example, the uptake of microplastics decreased filtration capacity (Colomer et al., 2019), food intake (Ogonowski et al., 2016;Rist et al., 2017), growth (Castro-Castellon et al., 2022;Eltemsah & Bøhn, 2019), swimming velocity (Magester et al., 2021), and reproductive output (Huang et al., 2022;Jaikumar et al., 2019”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
