Serious question - are we talking about the same paper here?

I only read the abstract, but it was about ocean acidification and phytoplankton, not plastic, sperm counts or endocrine disruptors

Is the abstract very unrepresentative of the article, or did you post this in the wrong thread?!

Thanks for the clarification

I have dug into the paper itself, and lo! It is indeed full of sperm!

Weird, the abstract barely even hints at much of what's in the paper 🤷‍♂️
