• Microplastics in sediments: A review of techniques, occurrence and effects. (2015, background): “Numerous factors such as size, density, shape, charge, 335 colour, aggregation and abundance of the plastic particles affect their potential bioavailability to a 336 wide range of aquatic organisms (Kach and Ward, 2008; Wright et al., 2013a).”
• Theory of Island Biogeography on a Microscopic Scale: Organic Aggregates as Islands for Aquatic Pathogens (2010, background): “Although the importance of marine, estuarine, and freshwater aggregates continues to be an area of active research (e.g. Guidi et al. 2008, Kach & Ward 2008, Ploug et al. 2008, Stemmann et al. 2008, Engel et al. 2009, Stevens et al. 2009, Ward & Kach 2009), the role of organic aggregates in the…”
• Trophic level transfer of microplastic: Mytilus edulis (L.) to Carcinus maenas (L.). (2013, background): “Kach and Ward (2008), showed that mussels had a 14% retention efficiency for 0.5 mm fluorescent polystyrene microspheres.”
• Selective Capture and Ingestion of Particles by Suspension-Feeding Bivalve Molluscs: A Review (2018, unknown): “Kach and Ward (2008) used picoplankton-sized particles (fluorescently labeled micro-spheres & Escherichia coli ) in feeding studies with several suspension-feeding molluscs ( Mercenaria mercenaria , M. edulis , Crassostrea virginica , A. irradians , and Crepidula fornicate [Linnaeus, 1758]).”

• Marine diatoms sustain growth of bivalves in a Mediterranean lagoon (2012, background): “Consequently, free-living bacteria meet only about 10 % of the nutritional requirements of suspension-feeding bivalves (Langdon and Newell, 1990), although they may represent a significant source of food when they are clustered or attached to particles (Kach and Ward, 2008).”
