Marine plastic debris emits a keystone infochemical for olfactory foraging seabirds
Plastic debris is ingested by hundreds of species of organisms, from zooplankton to baleen whales, but how such a diversity of consumers can mistake plastic for their natural prey is largely unknown. The sensory mechanisms underlying plastic detection and consumption have rarely been examined within the context of sensory signals driving marine food web dynamics. We demonstrate experimentally t...
متن کاملComment on “Marine plastic debris emits a keystone infochemical for olfactory foraging seabirds” by Savoca et al.
In their recent paper, Savoca and collaborators (2016) showed that plastic debris in the ocean may acquire a dimethyl sulfide (DMS) signature from biofouling developing on their surface. According to them, DMS emission may represent an olfactory trap for foraging seabirds, which explains patterns of plastic ingestion among procellariiform seabirds. This hypothesis is appealing, but some of the ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Ingested Plastic and Other Marine Debris on Seabirds
Seabirds ingest plastic particles and other marine debris more frequently than do any other taxon. Despite considerable speculation as to the adverse effects ingested debris has on seabirds, there have been few experiments designed to test these hypotheses. Initial attempts to demonstrate adverse effects were based on correlations between plastic load and bird condition. However, unless the inf...
متن کاملIs marine debris ingestion still a problem for the coastal marine biota of southern Brazil?
The accumulation of synthetic debris in marine and coastal environments is a consequence of the intensive and continuous release of these highly persistent materials. This study investigates the current status of marine debris ingestion by sea turtles and seabirds found along the southern Brazilian coast. All green turtles (n=34) and 40% of the seabirds (14 of 35) were found to have ingested de...
متن کاملHabitat associations of floating debris and marine birds in the North East Pacific Ocean at coarse and meso spatial scales.
While many surface foraging seabirds ingest plastic, the spatial overlap of these far-ranging predators with debris aggregations at-sea is poorly understood. We surveyed concurrent distributions of marine birds and debris along a 4400 km cruise track within a debris accumulation area in the North East Pacific Ocean using line and strip transect methods. Analysis of debris and bird distributions...
