The digestive system of a cricket pulverizes polyethylene microplastics

M. W. Ritchie, J. Provencher, J. E. Allison, M. J. Muzzatti, H. A. MacMillan

This study shows that crickets can fragment ingested microplastics into smaller pieces during digestion, potentially acting as agents of plastic transformation in the environment.

Characterizing microplastic ingestion, transformation, and excretion in insects using fluorescent plastics

M. W. Ritchie, A. Cheslock, M. P. T. Bourdages, B. M. Hamilton, J. F. Provencher, J. E. Allison, H. A. MacMillan

The paper develops a method to isolate and characterize fluorescent microplastics in insects using a combined workflow of tissue dissection, digestion, filtering, and imaging.

Ingestion of microplastic fibres, but not microplastic beads, impacts growth rates in the tropical house cricket Gryllodes sigillatus

S. Fudlosid, M. W. Ritchie, M. J. Muzzatti, J. E. Allison, J. Provencher, H. A. MacMillan

This study finds that high concentrations of polyethylene terephthalate microfibers reduce female Gryllodes sigillatus body size and weight, while polyethylene beads have no significant effect.
