A >> nutritional perspective on plastic ingestion in wildlife. Science of the >> Total Environment. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.11.418. >> >> >> Abstract >> >> Although the perils of plastics to living organisms including humans have >> been neglected for decades, they have recently been recognized as a major >> environmental problem worldwide. Little progress has been made on >> understanding the factors that drive species’ and populations’ >> susceptibilities to the ingestion of plastic. Here, we propose using >> nutritional ecology as a multidisciplinary framework for bridging the gaps >> that link nutrition, behavior, plastics, physiology and ecology. We show >> that nutritional niches of Franciscana dolphins are tightly linked to >> plastic ingestion, illustrating the application of our framework in the >> context of nutritional niche theory, habitat-specific foraging from species >> to populations, and transfer patterns in food webs. >> >> Article free access (until 25th Jan 2019): >> https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1YAo1B8ccghVR >> >> Please don't hesitate to contact me is you have any queries: >> [email protected] >> >> We welcome contacts for potential lines of collaboration. >> >> Regards, >> Gabriel
