Mercury impact and mitigation studies

Mercury bioaccumulation varies across breeding-site height and life-history traits in Amazonian phytotelm-breeding frogs

This study examines mercury accumulation in Amazonian phytotelm-breeding frogs, finding higher concentrations in ground pool tadpoles and species with slow development and parental care.

Multiple energy pathways structure mercury biomagnification in an Amazonian River food web

The paper assesses mercury biomagnification in an Amazonian river system by analyzing multiple energy pathways across different trophic levels and species.

Metabolic dehalogenation of halomethanes by mercury methylators

This study identifies halomethanes as potential substrates for HgcAB, suggesting their role in the evolution of mercury methylation through metabolic dehalogenation.

Spleen gene expression is associated with mercury content in three-spined stickleback populations

The paper examines transcriptomic changes in the spleen of three-spined stickleback populations with varying mercury levels, identifying differentially expressed genes linked to neurological, immunological, and splicing processes.
