Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic trend in mercury measured in common loon feathers and blood
David C. Evers,Joseph D. Kaplan,Michael W. Meyer,Peter S. Reaman,W. Emmett Braselton,Andrew Major,Neil M. Burgess,Anton M. Scheuhammer +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between blood and feather Hg concentrations among age and sex classes of the common loon (Gavia immer) in five regions of North America: Alaska, northwestern United States, Upper Great Lakes, New England, and Canadian Maritimes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury and other Contaminants in Common Loons Breeding in Atlantic Canada
TL;DR: Mean blood mercury concentrations in Kejimkujik loons are the highest found in breeding common loons across North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic monogamy in the common loon (Gavia immer)
Walter H. Piper,David C. Evers,Michael W. Meyer,Keren B. Tischler,Joseph D. Kaplan,Robert C. Fleischer +5 more
TL;DR: Perfect genetic monogamy (genetic parentage of young by parents that rear them) in loons might arise as a consequence of the need for vigorous territorial defense to prevent territorial takeover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leveraging genomics to understand threats to migratory birds.
Brenda Larison,Alec R. Lindsay,Christen M. Bossu,Michael D. Sorenson,Joseph D. Kaplan,David C. Evers,James D. Paruk,Jeffrey M. DaCosta,Thomas B. Smith,Kristen C. Ruegg,Kristen C. Ruegg +10 more
TL;DR: The results illustrate that the use of SNP panels to identify breeding origins of carcasses collected during the nonbreeding season can improve the understanding of the population‐specific impacts of mortality from disease and anthropogenic stressors, ultimately allowing more effective management.
