Human activities have serious impacts on marine apex predators. Inadequate knowledge of
the spatial and trophic ecology of these marine animals ultimately compromises the viability …

Blood analyses have great potential in studies of ecology, ecotoxicology and veterinary
science in wild vertebrates based on advances in human and domestic animal medicine …

Plastic pollution constitutes an environmental problem in the Canary Islands nowadays.
Nevertheless, studies evaluating the impact of plastics on its avifauna are still scarce …

Top predators are used as indicators of contaminant trends across space and time.
However, signals are integrated over complex food webs, and variation in diet may …

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

Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) have been identified as a significant factor
driving declines in wildlife populations. These contaminants exhibit a dual tendency to …

As apex marine predators, seabirds are often sampled to monitor bioaccumulative persistent
organic pollutants (POPs) in the marine environment. Despite the restrictions on use and …

Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a global threat, but impacts of these
chemicals upon remote areas such as Antarctica remain unclear. Penguins can be useful …

In this paper we determined the levels of 63 environmental contaminants, including organic
(PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, and PAHs) and inorganic (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Hg and Zn) …

Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are increasingly detected in wildlife and present
concerning and unknown health risks. While there is a growing body of literature describing …
