This review presents a holistic overview of the occurrence, mobilization, and pathways of
arsenic (As) from predominantly geogenic sources into different near-surface environmental …

Abstract Today (year 2020), the globally recognized problem of arsenic (As) contamination
of water resources and other environments at toxic levels has been reported in all of the 20 …

Since several seabird species have sexual size dimorphism, in which one sex is larger than
the other, and may consume bigger prey, this size difference may affect the contamination …

This study investigates essential (Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Se, Ni) and non-essential (Li, Be,
Cr, Rb, Sr, Cs, Cd, Sn, Ba, and Pb) element concentrations and stable isotope (δ 13 C, δ 15 …

Environmental pollution, especially because of trace metals, seriously affects ecological
safety, and bird feathers are often used as bioindicators to monitor this risk in various …

Seabirds are extensively used as environmental biomonitors and feathers are among the
most analyzed matrices because they are one of the main excretory pathways to detoxify the …

Seabirds are considered good bioindicators for environmental issues, such as
contamination, productivity, and health. Fish industry, climate change, bioinvasions, and …

This study investigated the feathers' composition of South polar skua (Stercorarius
maccormicki) using WDXRF, evaluating the concentration of essential and non-essential …

This study used feathers of brown booby (Sula leucogaster) and magnificent frigatebird
(Fregata magnificens) from Cagarras Archipelago, an area under strong anthropogenic …

Seabird feathers and eggshells are used as bio-monitors for trace metal contamination.
Eleven trace element concentrations in wing primaries (n= 21) and eggshells (n= 8) are …
