Early-life exposure to plastics is associated with health parameters and biomarkers in southern giant petrels

The sub-lethal effects of plastics and their associated chemicals on wildlife are poorly understood, primarily due to the lack of reliable indicators. We used southern giant petrels ( Macronectes giganteus, SGP), key scavengers and predators in southern seas, to assess whether ea...
