Cumulative human impacts across the world's oceans are considerable. We therefore
examined a single model taxonomic group, the penguins (Spheniscidae), to explore how …

Levels and trends of persistent organic pollutants and trace elements in seabirds breeding
in the vast Canadian Arctic have been monitored since 1975. Data from this monitoring have …

Plastic pollution is a contaminant of global concern, as it is present even in remote
ecosystems–like the Arctic. Arctic seabirds are vulnerable to ingesting plastic pollution, and …

Little is known about the current state of freshwater biodiversity in Canada, one of the
countries with the greatest amount of surface waters in the world. To address this knowledge …

The genetic analysis of faecal material represents a relatively non-invasive way to study
animal diet and has been widely adopted in ecological research. Due to the heterogeneous …

To prevent further global declines in biodiversity, identifying and understanding key habitats
is crucial for successful conservation strategies. For example, globally, seabird populations …

Abstract Modern approaches to Ecosystem-Based Management and sustainable use of
marine resources must account for the myriad of pressures (interspecies, human and …

Naturally occurring metals and metalloids [metal (loid) s] are essential for the physiological
functioning of wildlife; however, environmental contamination by metal (loid) and plastic …

Plastic ingestion by adult Procellariiformes has been widely recorded, but few studies have
evaluated intergenerational transfer. We assessed the prevalence of plastic particles, as …

Plastic ingestion by seabirds is a growing conservation issue, but there are few time series
of plastic ingestion with large sample sizes for which one can assess temporal trends …
