Abstract Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to
review biological effects of the exposure to organohalogen compounds (OHCs) in Arctic …

Bioaccumulative and biomagnifying contaminants, such as persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) and mercury (Hg), have for decades been recognized as a health concern in arctic …

Consistent expanding urbanization dramatically transforms natural habitats and exposes
organisms to novel environmental challenges, often leading to reduced species richness …

Seabirds often have high loads of contaminants. These contaminants have endocrine
disrupting properties but their relationships with some endocrine mechanisms are still poorly …

Chronic exposure to pollutants may represent a threat for wildlife. We tested whether adult
survival rate, breeding probability and breeding success the year of sampling and the …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be used as chemical sentinels for the assessment of
anthropogenic influences on Arctic environmental change. We present an overview of …

Increasing levels of poly-and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) have recently been
described in Arctic biota. These emerging substances are of concern given their resistance …

Human activities have led to the contamination of all environmental compartments
worldwide, including bird species. In birds, both the environment and maternal transfer lead …

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) may cause detrimental effects on
physiological function and reproduction of Arctic animals. However, there is a paucity of …

For many avian species, the decision to initiate breeding is based on information from a
variety of environmental cues, including photoperiod, temperature, food availability, and …
