Although marine sediments are recognized as a sink for marine microplastic particles, investigations into the fate of once deposited particles have received relatively little interest so far. Through interactions with sediment-dwelling organisms, these particles are subject to potential burial in the wake of bioturbation. In this study, we analyzed the effect of sediment reworking by the polychaete Hediste diversicolor O.F. Mü...

The detection of genetically modified organisms (GMO) is crucial for regulatory compliance and market control. Therefore, detection methods are constantly being developed and improved. New genomic techniques (NGT) present unique challenges for detection due to the minimal genetic changes they introduce. The ‘International Conference on GMO Analysis and New Genomic Techniques’ held in March 2023 in Berlin, explored advances in...
