In the present study, mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), and arsenic (As)
were measured in liver, kidney, and feathers of adult, juvenile, and chick seagulls (Larus …

Heavy metal pollution is widespread in China, particularly in its mining regions. Mercury
(Hg) concentrations in birds from Guizhou Province were recently reported to be above …

Mercury (Hg) is globally-distributed, with severe toxic effects on wildlife. Methylmercury
biomagnifies within food webs, so long-lived, top predators such as seabirds are prone to …

Metals and metalloids pollution is an important worldwide problem due to the social and
ecological effects and therefore has been the subject of many disciplines and the adverse …

In recent years, there have been increasing ecological and global concerns associated to
Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs). Thus, the relevance of wild mammals as biomonitors has …

Concentrations of 4 potentially toxic elements (As, Cd, Hg, Pb) were investigated in the
feather, liver, kidney, and bone of great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo). The tissue …

This work aimed at using Little Egrets (Egretta garzetta), for the first time in Egypt, as a
bioindicator of heavy metal contamination from three different Egyptian land use types (Qillin …

Mercury (Hg), particularly as methylmercury (MeHg), is a nonessential, persistent, and
bioaccumulative toxic element with high biomagnification capacity and is considered a …

The purpose of this study was to explore the usefulness of Great Shearwater (Ardenna
gravis) as a bioindicator for biomonitoring programs for metal pollution. Three different …

Humans have drastically altered the ecology of heavy metals, which can have negative
effects on animal development and neural functioning. Many species have shown the ability …
