The review examines the most recent advances on the effect of persistent pollutants on sea
turtles. Research on this topic is still limited, especially that related to toxicity, since they are …

With no known biological function, mercury (Hg) is highly toxic, bio-accumulates, and
biomagnifies up the food web. Long-living marine animals, such as sea turtles, can be …

Environmental contaminants have been suggested as a possible cause of
fibropapillomatosis (FP) in green sea turtles. In turn, a reduced concentration of serum …

Evaluating health risks of environmental contaminants can be better achieved by
considering toxic impacts across species. Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a marine …

Toxic elements (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, selenium, thallium) are a group of
contaminants that are known to elicit developmental, reproductive, general health, and …

Trace metals can have far-reaching ecosystem impacts. In this study, we develop consistent
and evidence-based logic chains to demonstrate the wider effects of trace metal …

Opportunities for postmortem studies on leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are
infrequent due to their predominantly pelagic life history. In this study, the pathological …

Abstract Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a marine pollution of concern as recent studies
show it has a global distribution, with some regions showing high Cr concentrations in …

Mercury (Hg) is an environmental contaminant that poses a threat to aquatic systems
globally. Temporal evaluations of Hg contamination have increased in recent years, with …

The ocean sunfish are perhaps most notable for their extraordinary size. The means
whereby they fuel such a large body has long intrigued ecologists. Although traditionally …
