The conservation status and priorities for albatrosses and large petrels (2016, background): “…areas, and type of prey, including the proportion of squid, which have high cadmium levels in their digestive glands, and of mesopelagic taxa, which tend to have higher mercury burdens (Anderson et al., 2009; Anderson et al., 2010; Becker et al., 2002; Harwani et al., 2011; Stewart et al., 1999).”
Trace me if you can: the use of intrinsic biogeochemical markers in marine top predators (2012, background): “…specific area (Herman et al. 2005; Ménard et al. 2007; Graham et al. 2010), to identify interspecific and intersexual segregation in foraging areas (Becker et al. 2002; Forero et al. 2005), to decipher migratory movements and foraging ecology of marine predators in historical times (Hobson et al.…”
Influence of trophic position and foraging range on mercury levels within a seabird community (2009, background): “…al. 2002), or have examined mercury burdens in a wide variety of species, but were unable to compare diet and Hg burden directly, since diets were assessed during the breeding season and the tissues collected (feathers) reflect the nonbreeding season (e.g. Stewart et al. 1999, Becker et al. 2002).”
