Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Environmental Methylmercury on the Health of Wild Birds, Mammals, and Fish
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of methylmercury exposure on wild piscivorous fish, birds, and mammals were investigated. But, the authors focused on the common loon, and only limited field-based studies corroborated laboratory-based results.
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
Methylmercury exposure associated with reduced productivity in common loons
Neil M. Burgess,Michael W. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: Lake pH, mercury (Hg) concentrations in small fish, blood Hg levels in adult male, female and juvenile common loons, and loon productivity from 120 lakes in Wisconsin, USA and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada (Maritimes) were measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Winter chemical defense of Alaskan balsam poplar against snowshoe hares.
Paul B. Reichardt,John P. Bryant,Benjamin R. Mattes,Thomas P. Clausen,F. S. Chapin,Michael W. Meyer +5 more
TL;DR: The concentration of 6-HCH can be supplemented by the hydrolysis of phenol glycosides when plant tissue is disrupted, raising the possibility of a dynamic element of the chemical defense of poplar.
Journal ArticleDOI
The oral bioavailability and toxicokinetics of methylmercury in common loon (Gavia immer) chicks
TL;DR: The results of this study highlight the importance of feather growth on the toxicokinetics of methylmercury and the oral bioavailability during both dosing periods to test for age-related changes.
