Biomagnification of trace elements is increasingly evident in aquatic ecosystems. In this
review we investigate the drivers of biomagnification of mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and …

Arsenic (As) contamination is a major global environmental concern with widespread effects
on health of living organisms including humans. In this review, the occurrence (sources and …

The transmission and accumulation of trace metals in marine food webs have a profound
influence on the structure and function of marine environment. In order to quantitatively …

Abstract The Swan Lagoon is a national nature reserve and an important spawning ground
in China. In this study, we evaluated the concentration of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and …

Antarctica is one of the least anthropogenically-impacted areas of the world. Metal sources
to the marine environment include localised activities of research stations and glacial …

Research on food web structures in marine ecosystems is an important field in ecology
where the interaction of structure and function contributes to understanding biodiversity. The …

Heavy metals (HMs) have the characteristics of high toxicity, long residual time, and difficult
degradation, which pose a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems. The distribution and …

In several watersheds, agricultural activities are the cause of pollution, mainly due to the
discharge of herbicides. Often, these herbicide plumes are transported to the surrounding …

Mangroves are the cradle of coastal water biodiversity and are susceptible to heavy metal
pollution. However, the trophic transfer mechanism of heavy metals in the mangrove food …

We provided the first multi-species study investigating the presence and organotropism of
trace elements in three tissues of 12 elasmobranch species. Shark species showed …
