Using toxicogenomic tools to detect effects of oil-related contaminants in seabirds
Abstract: In the past few decades much has been learned about the effects of oil on marine ecosystems. Specifically, the Exxon-Valdez oil spill in Alaska in 1989, the Treasure oil spill in South Africa in 2000, and most recently the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, have led to...

Specifically, the Exxon-Valdez oil spill in Alaska in 1989, the Treasure oil spill in South Africa in 2000, and most recently the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, have led to an increase in studies that have examined the effects of oil on marine ecosystems, from invertebrates to birds.
