Ecological effects, transport, and fate of mercury: a general review.
TLDR
The organic forms of mercury are generally more toxic to aquatic organisms and birds than the inorganic forms, and the form of retained mercury in birds is more variable and depends on species, target organ and geographical site.About:

Mercury in the Aquatic Environment: A Review of Factors Affecting Methylation
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge on the physicochemical behavior of mercury in the aquatic environment, and in particular the environmental factors influencing its transformation into highly toxic methylated forms is examined in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colorimetric Detection of Mercuric Ion (Hg2+) in Aqueous Media using DNA-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles
TL;DR: A highly selective and sensitive colorimetric detection method for Hg that relies on thymidine–Hg–thymidine coordination chemistry and complementary DNA–Au NPs with deliberately designed T–T mismatches is presented.

Mercury and selenium in marine mammals and birds.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the fate of methylmercury in fish-eating marine birds differs fundamentally from that in marine mammals, and it is suggested that marine mammals are able to detoxify methylcury by a specific chemical mechanism in which selenium is involved.

Mercury cycling and effects in freshwater wetland ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review borrows from diverse fields because of the paucity of freshwater wetland studies on mercury cycling and effects, suggests that a biogeochemical model would prove useful for evaluating wetland processes of mercury transformation and accumulation.

TL;DR: Bald eagle eggs were collected in 14 States in 1969–79 and analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorobiphenyls, and mercury; eight contaminants were significantly negatively correlated with shell thickness or reproduction at sampled breeding areas; DDE was most closely related to these factors.
