Cover Story: Microplastic contamination is a globally recognised issue in lake ecosystems. However, our understanding of the ingestion involved and its effects on organisms remains limited. We developed an effective protocol for assessing the ingestion by the talitrid Cryptorchestia garbinii, evaluating the biological effects. Individuals were exposed to PE, PET, PES, and PP through their diets by employing DECOTABs. The results provide clear evidence of the ingestion of the polymers supplied through the tabs, thereby validating the effectiveness of this method of exposure. Our findings provide evidence that ingestion of MP particles can significantly affect the energy reserves of C. garbinii, with potentially negative consequences for their survival and reproductive success.
