Plastics and microplastics in the oceans: From emerging pollutants to emerged threat. (2017, background): “Ingestion of microplastics was shown to affect the physiology and health of marine zooplankton, e.g. decreasing feeding rate and fecundity success (Cole et al., 2013, 2015).”

Ingestion of Microplastics by Zooplankton in the Northeast Pacific Ocean (2015, background): “Reduced feeding rate has also been observed in the marine copepod Centropages typicus (Cole et al. 2013) and in another study of A.”
A first overview of textile fibers, including microplastics, in indoor and outdoor environments. (2017, background): “Many studies have highlighted the presence of these particles in the marine environment (Cole et al., 2013) and their impact on aquatic organisms (Wright et al., 2013).”
Interactions between microplastics and phytoplankton aggregates: Impact on their respective fates (2015, background): “Once incorporated to phytoplankton aggregates, MP might also be exported out of the surface layers via fast-sinking faecal pellets as evidenced by Cole et al. (2013) as MP particles would be more approachable for zooplankton.”
Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research (2016, background): “The implications of trophic transfer, of both the microplastics and their associated toxins, are as yet unknown (Cole et al., 2013; Wright et al., 2013; Reisser et al., 2014a) and worthy of investigation.”
Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “Decreased feeding was observed following ingestion of polystyrene beads by zooplankton (Cole et al. 2013).”
Feasting on microplastics: ingestion by and effects on marine organisms (2018, background): “The feeding current indiscriminately draws potential food items, which may include microplastics, in the general direction of the organism (Cole et al. 2013, Setälä et al. 2016).”
Interactions of Microplastics with Freshwater Biota (2018, background): “[55] documented that MPs attach to the external carapace and appendages of marine zooplankton, which then might interfere with locomotion, molting, and feeding.”
Plastic Pollution in the World's Oceans: More than 5 Trillion Plastic Pieces Weighing over 250,000 Tons Afloat at Sea (2014, background): “In this manner, incorporation of smaller plastics into marine food chains could not only generate impacts on the health of the involved organisms [17–20], but also contribute to the removal of small microplastics from the sea surface [37].”
