Mercury is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant known to accumulate in, and negatively
affect, fish-eating and oceanic bird species, and recently demonstrated to impact some …

Environmental mercury (Hg) contamination of the global tropics outpaces our understanding
of its consequences for biodiversity. Knowledge gaps of pollution exposure could obscure …

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 …

Assessing trace metal pollution using feathers has long attracted the attention of
ecotoxicologists as a cost-effective and non-invasive biomonitoring method. In order to …

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) play an undisputed role for maintaining cellular functioning
under environmental challenges and protein denaturing conditions. Compelling evidence …

The present studies were conducted to investigate the difference response of dermal
fibroblasts to heat stress in Tharparkar and Karan-Fries cattle. Skin is the most important …

Based on longitudinal studies-some into their fifth decade-of colonial waterbirds, this book
provides a clear picture of the corrosive effects of heavy metals in the aquatic environment …

Physiological responses to environmental stress such as adrenocortical hormones and
cellular stress proteins have recently emerged as potentially powerful tools for investigating …

In comparison to the extensively documented mercury (Hg) biomagnification in food chains
of aquatic/or aquatic-related systems, Hg biomagnification in food chains in strictly terrestrial …

There is an abundance of data for levels of metals from a range of species, but relatively few
long-term time series from the same location. In this paper I examine the levels of arsenic …
