Exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) can result in detrimental health effects in wildlife. With
advances in ecological indicators and analytical techniques for measurement of MeHg in a …

An important provision of the Minamata Convention on Mercury is to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of the adopted measures and its implementation. Here, we describe for the …

Birds are used as bioindicators of environmental mercury (Hg) contamination, and toxicity
reference values are needed for injury assessments. We conducted a comprehensive …

We conducted a detailed assessment of the maternal transfer of mercury and selenium to
eggs in three bird species (n= 107 parents and n= 339 eggs), and developed predictive …

To elucidate the sources and transfer of mercury (Hg) in terrestrial food chains, particularly in
heavily Hg-contaminated rice paddy ecosystems, we collected rice leaves, invertebrates …

Feathers are widely used to represent mercury contamination in birds. Yet, few
recommendations exist that provide guidance for using bird feathers in mercury monitoring …

Methlymercury is a significant risk to environmental health globally. We examined the
ecological drivers of methylmercury bioaccumulation in songbirds and its effect on body …

Wildlife are exposed to neurotoxic mercury at locations distant from anthropogenic emission
sources because of long-range atmospheric transport of this metal. In this study, mercury …

In contrast to aquatic food chains, knowledge of the origins and transfer of mercury (Hg) and
methylmercury (MeHg) in terrestrial food chains is relatively limited, especially in songbirds …

Although feathers are commonly used to monitor mercury (Hg) in avian populations, their
reliability as a sampling matrix has not been thoroughly assessed for many avian species …
