Mercury Bioaccumulation and Adverse Reproductive Effects in Snapping Turtles Inhabiting a Historically Contaminated River

Hopkins, Brittney ColeVirginia Tech2012

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that has received much attention due to its ability to bioaccumulate, biomagnify, and maternally transfers in humans and wildlife. In vertebrates, exposure to Hg can impair growth, alter behavior and morphology, decrease survival, and reduce reproductive success. …

Can mercury levels in bat species along the St. Lawrence River in Ontario be used as an effective biomarker in assessing ecosystem health?

Milan, Idalia2010

This pioneering investigation focused on the mercury bioaccumulation relationship of bats and insects. Identifying biomarkers that can be extrapolated to humans is necessary. Radio-transmitter-fitted bats were tracked to identify five of their preferred feeding sites within and outside the Cornwall …
