- Plastics and microplastics in the oceans: From emerging pollutants to emerged threat. (2017, background): “4% of the examined 295 stomachs (Ramos et al., 2012); in addition to the hypothesis that fish mistakenly identify these 296 fragments as prey items, the authors suggested that ingestion might have occurred through 297 consumption of fish already containing these microplastics, or during suction of s”

- The present and future of microplastic pollution in the marine environment. (2014, background): “Until recently, only hypotheses andweak evidence for the ingestion process were available (e.g., Day et al., 1984; Boerger et al., 2010; Ramos et al., 2012).”
- Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “Similarly, 13.4 % of bottom-feeding fish (Gerreidae) from a tropical estuary in northeast Brazil contained microplastics in their stomachs (Ramos et al. 2012).”
- Microplastics in freshwater fishes: Occurrence, impacts and future perspectives (2021, background): “…the suitability of MPs as a food source prior to ingestion, if fish learn to avoid or ingest MPs, whether ingestion is deliberate and under which conditions does MP ingestion increase (Huuskonen et al., 2020; Li, Su, et al., 2020; Peters & Bratton, 2016; Ramos et al., 2012; Ryan et al., 2019).”

- Understanding How Microplastics Affect Marine Biota on the Cellular Level Is Important for Assessing Ecosystem Function: A Review (2019, background): “In addition to fish (Ramos et al. 2012; Choy and Drazen 2013), microplastic was also reported in predators such as sea birds (Kühn and van Franeker 2012), sea turtles (Schuyler et al.”
- Plastic ingestion by estuarine mullet Mugil cephalus (Mugilidae) in an urban harbour, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2016, background): “Fish that ingest plastics show signs of a false sense of satiation (Ramos et al. 2012), slowed digestion rates (Jackson et al.”
- Ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on biota: a review (2018, background): “Similarly, Ramos et al. (2012) noticed a significant uptake of microplastics (1–5 mm blue nylon fragments) in different stages of the Gerreidae fish, Eugerres brasilianus, Eucinostomus melanopterus, and Diapterus rhombeus from estuaries and mangroves.”
