This study investigated selected steroidal and phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds
(EDCs) in the surface water of the Bahe River (China) using gas chromatography mass …

Introgression is increasingly recognized as a source of genetic diversity that fuels
adaptation. Its role in the evolution of sex chromosomes, however, is not well known. Here …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are lipophilic compounds that bioaccumulate in

The Arctic is subject to long-range atmospheric deposition of globally-distilled semi-volatile
organic compounds (SVOCs) that bioaccumulate and biomagnify in lipid-rich food webs. In …

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are known to accumulate in traditional food animals of
the Arctic, and arctic indigenous peoples may be exposed via consumption of subsistence …

Environmental pollution causes adverse health effects in many organisms and contributes to
health disparities for Arctic communities that depend on subsistence foods, including the …
