Lead (Pb) is an environmental pollutant and has toxic effect on birds. Selenium (Se) has
alleviative effect on Pb poisoning. This study investigated mitigative effect of Se on …

As top predators, seabirds are highly sensitive to widespread plastic and metal pollution.
These bioindicators interact with plastics and metals in many different ways which can lead …

This study provides a baseline assessment of cadmium, copper, iron, manganese, lead, and
zinc concentrations in muscles, gills, and exoskeleton of the Lessepsian blue swimming …

In this paper, we describe an exploited continental shelf ecosystem (Gulf of Gabes) in the
southern Mediterranean Sea using an Ecopath mass-balance model. This allowed us to …

We measured heavy metal concentrations in yellow-legged gulls (n= 196) and European
shags (n= 189) in order to assess the temporal pattern of contaminant exposure following …

There was an extraordinary increase in the numbers of European gulls during the twentieth
century which has been linked to higher availability of food derived from human activities. At …

The concentration of human activities in the near-shore ecosystems from the northern
Antarctic Peninsula area can cause an increasing bioavailability of pollutants for the …

We studied the spatial distribution of phytoplankton, ciliate and mesozooplankton
communities coupled with environmental factors in the southern coast of Sfax (central …

Trace metal pollution is increasing worldwide due to human activities. In this study, we
investigated the physiological and biochemical effects of heavy metals on henna plants …

The present work aimed at studying pollution of traffic-related heavy metals (HMs) in
roadside soils and their uptake by the Mediterranean native species Erodium glaucophyllum …
