T-cell Responses in Oiled Guillemots and Swans in a Rehabilitation Setting
Abstract Aquatic birds are commonly affected by oil spills. Despite rehabilitation efforts, the majority of rehabilitated common guillemots ( Uria aalge ) do not survive, whereas mute swans ( Cygnus olor ) tend to have higher postrelease survival. Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in crude oi...
