“…Such changes in behavior following exposure to contaminants can translate into population and community declines (Kidd et al., 2007 , 2014 ; Rearick et al., 2018 ). In addition, little is known about the independent and synergistic impacts of MPs and other environmental stressors on individuals, populations, and communities (Swank et al., 2022 ). For example, growing evidence suggests that the hydrophobic nature and large surface area of MP particles allows for organic contaminants, heavy metals, endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and microbiota to sorb to the surface of the particles (Caruso, 2019 ; Wang, Ge, & Yu, 2019 ), which then act as an additional vector of exposure for these compounds (Wang, Ge, & Yu, 2019 ; Wu et al., 2016 ).…”
