Microplastics (MPs) have become pervasive environmental pollutants with significant impacts on ecosystems, particularly aquatic environments. As these particles infiltrate various habitats, they are ingested by a wide range of organisms, from plankton to large marine mammals. The ingestion MPs disrupts the food web, causing physical and chemical harm animals at multiple trophic levels. Here, we studied accumulation in gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) terrestrial lizard species after long-term monitoring using museum specimens collection Fauna Flora Research Application Center Dokuz Eylül University decades ago. These samples were 1986 2013, but not consecutive years. GITs 300 individuals analyzed detected only 25 individuals. In individuals, most dominant form microplastic was fiber. highest number 2001, followed 1995. It is thought that this caused human activities lizard's environment it enters web indirectly because lives areas high interaction. Overall, study shows been present past, entering species, can inherently transfer other living things. understood will pose threats biodiversity ecosystem health as transferred through chain.

Abstract Ovarian aging represents a significant risk factor for female infertility, primarily due to decline in ovarian reserve and diminished oocyte quality. However, whether microplastics (MPs) exposure poses potential inducing the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that MPs accelerates aging, characterized by elevated expression of senescence markers (p16 p21) increased fibrosis. Mechanistic analysis indicated led inflammatory damage mitochondrial dysfunction, which contribute reduced reserve. Furthermore, compromised maturation competence embryo development triggering dysfunction DNA damage. Multi-omics identified L-arginine as crucial metabolite protects oocytes from MPs-induced aging. Notably, supplementation significantly mitigated phenotypes induced MPs, evidenced fibrosis, damage, alongside enhanced These findings provide theoretical support reproductive protection against inform environmental assessments.
