TL;DR: Results indicate that mercury contamination of birds is prevalent in many areas throughout western North America, and large-scale ecological attributes are important factors influencing bird mercury concentrations.

TL;DR: Mink are widely distributed, abundant, and regularly trapped in temperate, aquatic ecosystems, and this makes them an excellent model to address issues in environmental pollution on both temporal and spatial scales, and the information collected from this species has allowed environmental health scientists to better understand and characterize pollution effects on ecosystems.

TL;DR: Levels of most essential trace elements appear to be closely regulated in seabird tissues; values were in good agreement with those previously reported in the published literature.

TL;DR: It is estimated that a minimum of 11% of the sampled great horned owl population is at risk of being directly killed by SGARs, the first time the potential mortality impact ofSGARs on a raptor population has been estimated.

TL;DR: There are significant differences between common loons and bald eagles with respect to cerebral metabolism and toxicodynamics of MeHG and Se and these interspecies differences may influence relative susceptibility to MeHg toxicity.
