- Editorial: Endocrine disruption in marine species: unraveling pollution and climate change effectsPublication . Bertucci, Juan Ignacio; Blanco, Ayelén Melisa; Estêvão, Maria Dulce da Mota Antunes de OliveiraEndocrine disruption in marine species has emerged as a significant concern in environmental endocrinology, particularly in the context of escalating anthropogenic pressures. Persistent pollutants, including microplastics, heavy metals, and agrochemical residues, alongside climate-induced stressors like ocean warming and acidification, are now recognized as potent modulators of endocrine function in aquatic organisms. These stressors compromise critical physiological and behavioral processes, with potential implications for individual fitness, population viability, and ecosystem stability. The Research Topic Endocrine disruption in marine species: unraveling pollution and climate change effects brings together a multidisciplinary set of contributions that examine the mechanistic underpinnings, organismal impacts, and ecological implications of endocrine disruption across marine taxa. This editorial synthesizes the key findings, contextualizes them within the broader scientific discourse, and highlights knowledge gaps and future research directions.
