Urbanization and cattle density are determinants in the exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides of non-target wildlife
The persistence and toxicity of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) in animal tissues make these compounds dangerous by biomagnification in predatory species. Here we studied the levels of SGARs in non-target species of wildlife and the environmental factors that influence such expo...
