High within‐individual variation in total mercury concentration in seabird feathers
Abstract To our knowledge, no rigorous assessment of the variation in mercury concentrations within individual seabirds has been made using multiple body feathers. We analyzed five feathers from individual Arctic terns ( Sterna paradisaea Pontoppidan), common terns ( Sterna hirundo L.), and Leach...
