Article Synopsis
- Plastic debris is widely found in freshwater ecosystems, but assessing its distribution is challenging due to a lack of consistent data.
- A standardized survey of 38 lakes and reservoirs identified that plastic pollution is present in all studied locations, indicating these ecosystems are significantly affected by plastic contamination.
- The study reveals that urbanized lakes and large bodies of water with specific characteristics are particularly susceptible to high levels of plastic, stressing the need to consider these freshwater areas in pollution management efforts.
The Bełchatów Lignite Mine of Poland is a treasure-cove for mid-to late Miocene plant and animal fossils, deposited in a slow-flowing river valley with swamps and oxbow lakes. Here, we report the finding of abundant fossil anomopod cladocerans. Some are three-dimensionally preserved, including the taxonomically important trunk limbs.
