In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Microplastics, Mytilus, Mussel and Paracentrotus lividus.
The concepts of his Environmental chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Pollutant and Toxicity, Acute toxicity.
His Microplastics study deals with the bigger picture of Ecology.
Ricardo Beiras interconnects Assimilation, Sprague dawley rats, Metal and Dosinia exoleta in the investigation of issues within Mytilus.
His Mussel research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vitellogenin, Zoology and Gill.
His work focuses on many connections between Plankton and other disciplines, such as Larva, that overlap with his field of interest in Bioassay.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Ingestion and contact with polyethylene microplastics does not cause acute toxicity on marine zooplankton. (61 citations)
- Leachates of micronized plastic toys provoke embryotoxic effects upon sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (42 citations)
- Ecotoxicological evaluation of the risk posed by bisphenol A, triclosan, and 4-nonylphenol in coastal waters using early life stages of marine organisms (Isochrysis galbana, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Paracentrotus lividus, and Acartia clausi) (32 citations)
