Abstract Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to
review biological effects of mercury (Hg) on Arctic biota in 2011 and 2018, there has been a …

Exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) can result in detrimental health effects in wildlife. With
advances in ecological indicators and analytical techniques for measurement of MeHg in a …

Knowledge gaps in mercury (Hg) biomagnification in forest birds, especially in the most
species-rich tropical and subtropical forests, limit our understanding of the ecological risks of …

Little is known about the bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of total mercury (THg) and
methylmercury (MeHg) via food webs in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in subtropical …

Feathers are widely used to represent mercury contamination in birds. Yet, few
recommendations exist that provide guidance for using bird feathers in mercury monitoring …

Non-ferrous metal mining is considered one of the largest sources of toxic metal released to
the environment and may threaten ecosystems, notably biota. We explored how birds that …

An important provision of the Minamata Convention on Mercury is to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of the adopted measures and its implementation. Here, we describe for the …

Abstract Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) represents a significant source of
anthropogenic mercury emissions to the environment, with potentially severe implications for …

Environmental contamination is widespread and can negatively impact wildlife health. Some
contaminants, including heavy metals, have immunosuppressive effects, but prior studies …

We conducted a national-scale assessment of mercury (Hg) bioaccumulation in aquatic
ecosystems, using dragonfly larvae as biosentinels, by developing a citizen-science network …
