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 …

The frequency and strength of biotic interactions are thought to be shaped by environmental
conditions. In this study, we reviewed and discussed the potential effects of toxic chemicals …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs)
regulated by the Stockholm Convention (2001). Although their production and use was …

Aggregation of macroparasites among hosts is nearly universal among parasite-host
associations. Researchers testing hypotheses on origins of parasite aggregation and its …

Organisms are exposed to various stressors including parasites and micropollutants. Their
combined effects are hard to predict. This study assessed the trophic relationship …

In many animal species, males and females differ in their levels of contaminants and/or
parasitic infections. Most contaminants and gastro-intestinal parasites are obtained through …

Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are a culturally significant food resource for communities in
northern Canada and Greenland. Many barren-ground caribou subpopulations are currently …

In environmental studies, parasites are often seen as a product of enhanced host
susceptibility due to exposure to one or several stressors, whereas potential consequences …

Field experiments where parasites are removed through treatment and contaminant levels in
host tissues are recorded can provide insight into the combined effects of parasitism and …

Studies on parasite-mediated selection often focus on single parasite taxa infecting single
species of hosts. However, host populations experience infections by multiple parasite taxa …
