Microplastics in Daphnia pose global threat to aquatic ecosystems.
Microplastics in water can harm tiny water fleas called Daphnia. Scientists studied how different types of microplastics affect Daphnia. They found that more research is needed to understand the risks to Daphnia populations and communities. Future studies should look at how microplastics affect Daphnia at a genetic level and in groups of organisms.
