This review article is the third in a series on animal poisoning in Europe and represents a
collation of published and non-published wildlife poisoning data from Belgium, France …

Lead contamination is a widely recognised conservation problem for raptors worldwide.
There are a number of studies in individual raptor species but those data have not been …

Lead (Pb) is a metabolic poison that can negatively influence biological processes, leading
to illness and mortality across a large spectrum of North American avifauna (> 120 species) …

Long-lived species are particularly susceptible to bioaccumulation of lead in bone tissues. In
this paper we gain insights into the sublethal effects of lead contamination on Egyptian …

Metals are involved in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which may result in
metal-related oxidative stress that can lead to oxidative damage to lipids, DNA and proteins …

Lead poisoning mortality, through the ingestion of spent shot, is long established in
waterfowl, and more recently in raptors and other avian taxa. Raptors (vultures, hawks …

Electrocution on poorly designed power poles is increasingly shown to pose a threat for the
populations of many large raptors. Here we document that a power line in Sudan continues …

Despite its key role in population dynamics and evolutionary ecology, little is known about
factors shaping survival in long‐lived territorial species. Here, we assessed several …

Lead poisoning in birds was described in Europe at the end of the 19th century, but the first
epidemiological studies were not done until the second half of the 20th century. So far, most …

A total of 211 poisoning incidents registered over the period 1990–2007 and affecting 294
Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus) were studied to address the impact of poison …
