Journal ArticleDOI
Multi‐generational effects of polybrominated diphenylethers exposure: Embryonic exposure of male American kestrels (Falco sparverius) to DE‐71 alters reproductive success and behaviors
Sarah C. Marteinson,David M. Bird,J. Laird Shutt,Robert J. Letcher,Ian J. Ritchie,Kim J. Fernie,Kim J. Fernie +6 more
TL;DR: Results of the present study confirm effects noted in the F(0) generation and demonstrate that exposure to DE-71 affects multiple generations of this predatory avian species at environmentally relevant levels of exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary exposure of American kestrels (Falco sparverius) to decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) flame retardant: uptake, distribution, debromination and cytochrome P450 enzyme induction.
TL;DR: Overall, the results demonstrated that following diet exposure of kestrels to high purity BDE-209, uptake occurred as well as Bde-209 degradation via debromination to lower brominated PBDE congeners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated exposure, uptake and accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by nestling tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) through multiple exposure routes in active mining-related areas of the Athabasca oil sands region.

TL;DR: While PAH concentrations were much higher in muscle than feces, they were highly correlated (p≤0.001 for all) and feces may represent a non-lethal method for characterizing PAH exposure of birds, with muscle characterizing accumulation and sources ofPAH exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet exposure to technical hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) affects testes and circulating testosterone and thyroxine levels in American kestrels (Falco sparverius).
Sarah C. Marteinson,Sarah Kimmins,Robert J. Letcher,Vince P. Palace,David M. Bird,Ian J. Ritchie,Kim J. Fernie,Kim J. Fernie +7 more
TL;DR: This study is the first report that HBCD exposure at environmentally relevant levels alters reproductive physiology in male birds and suggests that birds may be more sensitive to HBCd than mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Flame Retardant β-1,2-Dibromo-4-(1,2-dibromoethyl)cyclohexane: Fate, Fertility, and Reproductive Success in American Kestrels (Falco sparverius)
Sarah C. Marteinson,Robert J. Letcher,Laura H. Graham,Sarah Kimmins,Gregg T. Tomy,Vince P. Palace,Ian J. Ritchie,Lewis T. Gauthier,David M. Bird,Kim J. Fernie +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that β-TBECH may be detrimental for breeding in wild birds receiving similar exposure levels and reductions in egg production and fertility resulted in decreased hatchling success.
