Climate change affects the Arctic more than any other region, resulting in evolving weather,
vanishing sea ice and altered biochemical cycling, which may increase biotic exposure to …

Mercury (Hg) is a metallic trace element toxic for humans and wildlife that can originate from
natural and anthropic sources. Hg spatial gradients have been found in seabirds from the …

Sea ice plays a fundamental role in Arctic marine environments, by driving primary

Northwest Greenland societies substantially rely on subsistence harvest, a part of which
consists of little auks (Alle alle), an abundant seabird in the Arctic. Although little auks inhabit …

Mercury concentrations can vary substantially across spatial and temporal scales. As mobile
marine predators, seabirds offer a unique opportunity to directly link foraging tactics with …

Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring, highly toxic element whose circulation in ecosystems
has been intensified by human activities. Hg is widely distributed, and marine environments …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant of major concern in marine and coastal environments. In
the Mediterranean Sea, Hg concentrations in biota are higher than in other seas, even when …

Mercury levels in the environment are increasing, such that they are also expected to
accumulate in top-predators, but individual-based longitudinal studies required to …
