It is now evident that MPs can accumulate in soil, freshwater, seawater and the atmosphere; thus, living organisms are directly or indirectly exposed to these significant ecological stressors globally. Studies on the physiological effects of MPs in wildlife are emerging, yet, to date, only a handful of studies with a special focus on how MPs affect animal behaviour are available, and there is even less research on how different components of among- and within-individual behavioural variation are affected by MPs. The main goal of this study was to investigate how prolonged exposure (6 weeks) to 10 μm spherical polystyrene microplastics in food (24.85 particles/mg) influences individual variation in risk-taking behaviour in a widespread decomposer, the common pill bug <em>Armadillidium vulgare</em>. Our results indicate a strong MP effect on different levels of behavioural variation: (i) individual mean risk-taking increased, while (ii) a correlation between mean risk-taking and residual within-individual risk-taking variation emerged (risk-takers became less predictable) in the MP treated group. These findings underscore the intricate effects of MPs on individual behavioural variation, with potentially far-reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences given their pervasive presence in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The negative impacts of these changes are widespread; in our study, MP exposure may increase the susceptibility of <em>A. vulgare</em> to predation, potentially contributing to population decline.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intricate pollution dynamics in aquaculture areas complicate the comprehension of the distribution and transmission of ARGs in aquaculture systems. Using metagenomic sequencing technology, this study used eight ponds and four ditches in a large crab aquaculture area in Taizhou City, where <em>Proteobacteria</em> (61.58%) and <em>Acidobacteria</em> (6.04%) were identified as the dominant phyla and <em>Thiobacillus</em> (1.84%) and <em>Lysobacter</em> (0.99%) were the dominant genera. Network and linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfse) analyses showed that <em>Proteobacteria</em> and <em>Lysobacter</em> were the main host phyla of ARGs, and <em>Lysobacter</em>, which are key host bacteria in ponds, played an important role in determining the abundance of ARGs in ponds. Co-occurrence network analysis (spearman r&gt;0.7, p&lt;0.01) revealed that prophages can dominate the spread of ARGs by carrying several ARG subtypes (<em>rsmA</em>, <em>OXA-21</em>, <em>THIN-B</em> and <em>lnuF</em>). Analysis of variance demonstrated that functions related to the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs, such as EPS synthesis (<em>lptF</em>), oxidative stress (<em>gor</em> and <em>ompR</em>), ATP synthesis (<em>lapB</em> and <em>vcaM</em>), and cell membrane permeability (<em>yajC</em> and <em>gspJ</em>), were significantly expressed in the pond (p&lt;0.05), confirming that ARGs had stronger transmission potential in the pond. The Mantel test and partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) analysis showed that ARGs exist in bacteria and spread among them through mobile genetic elements and HGT. This study revealed the distribution and transmission mechanism of ARGs in the ponds and ditches of a crab aquaculture system and provided a theoretical basis for controlling the spread of ARGs in crab aquaculture in this area.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, research has documented the widespread presence of contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural systems. Chemicals such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals and poly- and -perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs); particulate matter such as nanomaterials and microplastics; and biological agents such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and bacteria (ARB) are inadvertently introduced into arable soils where they can be taken up by crops and introduced to the food-web. Thus, concern about the presence of contaminants in agricultural environments has grown in recent years with evidence emerging linking agricultural exposure and accumulation in crops to ecosystem and human health effects. Our current assessment of risk is siloed by working within disciplines (i.e., chemistry and microbiology) and mostly focused on individual chemical classes. By not acknowledging the fact that contaminants are mostly introduced as a mixture, with the potential for interactions, with each other and with environmental factors, we are limiting our current approach to evaluate the real potential for ecosystem and human health effects. By uniting expertise across disciplines to integrate recent understanding regarding the risks posed by a range of chemically diverse contaminants in resources destined for reuse, this review provides a holistic perspective on the current regulatory challenges to ensure safe and sustainable reuse of wastewater and biosolids to support a sanitation-agriculture circular economy.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis genes showed significantly change, indicating the disorder of sex hormone signaling. Moreover, CPs increased DNA methylation levels in gonads, especially at CpG sites in the <em>ar</em> promoter, which negatively correlated with <em>ar</em> expression.
