Songbird feathers as indicators of mercury exposure : Patterns across feather tracts and correlations to other tissues

Creator:

Low, Katherine E.

Abstract:

Monitoring mercury (Hg) exposure in avian populations is critical to understanding the effects of this neurotoxin. Avian Hg exposure is commonly evaluated by measuring Hg concentrations in internal tissues, blood, and feathers. Feathers are a popular sampling matrix due to ease of sampling and limited stress to birds. However, it...
