Limited information exists on mercury concentrations and environmental drivers of mercury
bioaccumulation in high latitude terrestrial carnivores. Spatial patterns of mercury …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a globally pervasive contaminant with known toxicity to humans
and wildlife. Several sources of variation can lead to spatial differences in MeHg …

Mercury contamination in wildlife has rarely been studied in the Southern Appalachians
despite high deposition rates in the region. From 2006 to 2008 we sampled feathers from …

Global mercury contamination largely results from direct primary atmospheric and secondary
legacy emissions, which can be deposited to ecosystems, converted to methylmercury, and …

Mercury (Hg) bioaccumulates in the tissues of organisms and biomagnifies within food-
webs. Gray wolves (Canis lupus) in Alaska primarily acquire Hg through diet; therefore …

Environmental contaminants are a concern for animal health, but contaminant exposure can
also be used as a tracer of foraging ecology. In particular, mercury (Hg) concentrations are …

Mercury has become a ubiquitous hazardous element even ending up in pristine areas such
as the Arctic, where it biomagnifies and leaves especially top predators vulnerable to …

Mercury (Hg) biomagnification occurs in many ecosystems, resulting in a greater potential
for toxicological effects in higher-level trophic feeders. However, Hg transport pathways …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that is transferred trophically
through aquatic and terrestrial food webs. To better understand the routes of Hg uptake in …

Mercury (Hg) is a leading contaminant across US water bodies, warranting concern for
wildlife species that depend upon food from aquatic systems. The risk of Hg toxicity to large …
