With increasing input of neurotoxic mercury to environments as a result of anthropogenic
activity, it has become imperative to examine how mercury may enter biotic systems through …

In this chapter, the authors aim to uncover the organizational principles–the main drivers
and controls, and their interactions and feedbacks–that determine the development and …

Exposure to pollutants is a potentially crucial but overlooked driver of population declines in
shorebirds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. We combined knowledge of moult …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a toxic and bioaccumulative organo-metallic compound that is
naturally produced in many ecosystems. Organisms that occupy the lower trophic positions …

Studies on mercury bioaccumulation and biomagnification in coastal invertebrates in
eastern Canada are limited, but these data are necessary to determine risk of mercury …

Mercury-specific diffusive gradient in thin films (DGTs) were used in laboratory microcosms
as a biomonitoring tool to assess the lability of mercury (Hg) total and monomethylmercury …

Polychaete worms are abundant in many mudflats but their importance to coastal food web
Hg biomagnification is not known. We sampled sediments and polychaete worms from …

The bioaccumulation and the main source of total Hg (THg) and methylmercury (MMHg) in
the deposit-feeding polychaete Neanthes japonica collected in **zhou Bay, China, were …

The bioaccumulation of Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) by benthic invertebrates in
estuarine sediments is poorly understood. We sampled and analysed PTEs in sediments …

An increasing number of studies established unequivocal relationships between exposure
to pharmaceutical drugs and toxicity in wildlife. However, few studies investigated …
