+[[!doi 10.1101/2024.01.10.574808 doi desc="_O. dioica's development_ less affected by leachates than other tested animals."]]
Example(s): _B. stygius_ ([[Katija and coll., 2017b|biblio/28835922]]). 3
to 17 microplastic particles were found in sinking houses in the Monterey Bay
[[Choy and coll., 2019|biblio/31171833]].
+ - The development of _O. dioica_ is comparatively less affected by microplastic leachates
+ than some other invertebrates ([[Guri and coll., 2024|10.1101_2024.01.10.574808]]).
- _O. dioica_ can filter, ingest and defecate the _Emiliania huxleyi_ virus
([[Lawrence and coll., 2018|biblio/10.1002_lno.10734]]). This study does not assess
whether the viruses are digested.
