Plastic pollution and ongoing climatic changes exert considerable pressure on coastal ecosystems. Unravelling the combined effects of these two threats is essential to management conservation actions reduce overall environmental risks. We assessed capacity a ecosystem engineer, blue mussel Mytilus edulis , cope with various levels aerial heat stress (20, 25, 30 35°C) after an exposure substances leached from beached virgin low-density polyethylene pellets. Our results revealed significant interaction between temperature plastic leachates survival rates. Specifically, microplastic had no effect at 20, 25 30°C. In turn, rates significantly decreased 35°C, this decrease was even more following pellets; pellets higher concentration additives compared ones, potentially causing bioenergetic imbalance. importance adopting integrated approaches combining multiple key marine species understand mitigate their potential synergistic dynamics resilience in face changing environment.

ABSTRACT Aggregation behaviour is a key process shared by numerous organisms, providing benefits such as predator protection, resistance to abiotic stressors and enhancing reproductive success. In coastal waters, mussel aggregations shape ecosystems increase biodiversity; however, many aspects of this ecologically remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the potential link between aggregation rate maturity stages in blue Mytilus edulis over seasonal cycle. We showed that seasonality M. was significant sinusoidal function mean stage. Specifically, increased during gamete maturation until onset spawning subsequently declined, following cyclical pattern, supporting mussels. Given ubiquity plastics marine contaminants their known harmful effects on assessed how temporal patterns observed may be impacted an exposure leachates from plastic pellets. Thus, led loss pattern control seawater, potentially compromising reproduction stability bed habitat. Our study relationship behaviour, Understanding these complex interactions crucial, given pivotal role mussels play shaping ecosystems, offering new insights into resilience habitat facing contemporary challenges.

The ever-growing contamination of the environment by plastics is a major scientific and societal concern.Specifically, study microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm), nanoplastics (< 1 µm), their leachates critical research area as they have potential cause detrimental effects, especially when impact key ecological species.Marine mussels, ecosystem engineers filter feeders, are particularly vulnerable this type pollution.In study, we reviewed 106 articles that focus on impacts plastic pollution marine mussels.First, examined efforts in terms characteristics (size, polymer, shape, leachates) exposure conditions (concentration, duration, species, life stages, internal factors), disparities, environmental relevance.Then, provided an overview effects mussels at each organisational levels, from smaller scales (molecular, cellular, tissue organ impacts) organism level (functional, physiological, behavioural well larger-scale implications (associated community impacts).We finally discussed limited available multistressor studies involving plastics, relation temperature stress.We identified underestimated factor could shape proposed roadmap for future address combined effects.This review also highlights multiple levels emphasises strong disparities effort need more holistic research, notably through consideration stressors, with specific which likely become increasingly relevant forcing era global warming.By identifying gaps current knowledge, advocate coordinated interdisciplinary international collaborations raise awareness coherence choice implementation experimental protocols.
