Microplastics disrupt adaptive predator-induced behavioural plasticity in <i>Rana dalmatina</i> tadpoles

2026-06-16

Abstract excerpt

The accumulation of microplastics (MP; plastic particles 1 μm – 1 mm in diameter) in the environment is an increasing global concern. Although the physiological effects of MP on organisms, including humans, are increasingly documented, their impacts on behaviour are far less understood. Further, little is known about how MP affect adaptive phenotypic plasticity – the ability of a genotype to adaptively modify its...
