Biotransport of metallic trace elements from marine to terrestrial ecosystems by seabirds
(Wiley, 2019)Physical systems, such as currents and winds, have traditionally been considered responsible for transporting contaminants. Although evidence is mounting that animals play a role in this process through their movements, ... -
Concentrations and relative compositions of metallic elements differ between predatory squid and filter-feeding sardine from the Indian and South Atlantic oceans
(Elsevier, 2020)Although metallic elements occur naturally, they can occur or accumulate in organisms at levels toxic to the organism and/or their consumers. Concentrations of twenty-nine metallic elements in muscle tissue from sardine ... -
Contamination status and accumulation characteristics of heavy metals and arsenic in five seabird species from the central Bering Sea
(Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 2017)Seabirds are marine top predators and accumulate high levels of metals and metalloids in their tissues. Contamination by metals in the highly productive offshore region has become a matter of public concern. It is home ... -
The flip-or-flop boutique: marine debris on the shores of St Brandon's rock, an isolated tropical atoll in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2016)Isolated coral atolls are not immune from marine debris accumulation. We identified Southeast Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and the countries on the Arabian Sea as most probable source areas of 50 000 items on the shores ... -
Metallic elements in Nile Crocodile eggs from the Kruger National Park, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2018)The Nile Crocodile is the largest predator on the African continent. Recent mass mortalities in the Kruger National Park (KNP) raised concerns about possible influence of pollution. We analysed eggs and their eggshells ...
