Common loon eggs as indicators of methylmercury availability in North AmericaD C Evers
BioDiversity Research Institute, 411 US Rt 1, North, Suite 1, Falmouth, Maine 04105, USA
Ecotoxicology 12:69-81. 2003..Regionally, we found the greatest risk levels in northeastern North America. With few exceptions, loon eggs are suitable indicators of methylmercury availability on lakes with territorial pairs...- Spatial gradients of methylmercury for breeding common loons in the Laurentian Great Lakes regionDavid C Evers
BioDiversity Research Institute, Gorham, ME 04038, USA
Ecotoxicology 20:1609-25. 2011..Based on 8,101 MLUs, seven biological Hg hotspots were identified in the Great Lakes region. Policy-relevant applications are presented... - Integrated mercury monitoring program for temperate estuarine and marine ecosystems on the North American Atlantic coastDavid C Evers
BioDiversity Research Institute, 19 Flaggy Meadow Road, Gorham, ME 04038, USA
Ecohealth 5:426-41. 2008..We believe that a comprehensive approach provides an ability to best detect spatiotemporal Hg trends for both human and ecological health, and concurrently identify food webs and species at greatest risk to MeHg toxicity... - Adverse effects from environmental mercury loads on breeding common loonsDavid C Evers
BioDiversity Research Institute, 19 Flaggy Meadow Road, Gorham, ME 04038, USA
Ecotoxicology 17:69-81. 2008..Standardized monitoring programs are needed to determine if population sinks occur elsewhere and to track aquatic ecosystem responses to changes in Hg emissions and deposition... - Mercury in the Great Lakes region: bioaccumulation, spatiotemporal patterns, ecological risks, and policyDavid C Evers
BioDiversity Research Institute, Gorham, ME 04038, USA
Ecotoxicology 20:1487-99. 2011..This will be particularly important as new pollution prevention measures are implemented, as global sources increase, and as the region faces changing environmental conditions... - Patterns and interpretation of mercury exposure in freshwater avian communities in northeastern north AmericaDavid C Evers
BioDiversity Research Institute, 19 Flaggy Meadow Rd, Gorham, ME 04038, USA
Ecotoxicology 14:193-221. 2005..This and the national need for spatiotemporal monitoring of MeHg availability require careful consideration of indicator species choice. Only then will local, regional, continental, and even global monitoring efforts be effective... - Mercury in northeastern North America: a synthesis of existing databasesDavid C Evers
BioDiversity Research Institute, 19 Flaggy Meadow Road, Gorham, ME, 04038, USA
Ecotoxicology 14:7-14. 2005..Demonstrated is the ubiquitous nature of Hg and methylmercury availability and how its heterogeneous distribution is now relatively well understood for northeastern North America... - Mercury contamination of biota from Acadia National Park, Maine: a reviewMichael S Bank
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Maine, Orono, ME, USA
Environ Monit Assess 126:105-15. 2007..Additional baseline funding from the National Park Service for Hg research and biomonitoring will likely be required in order to further evaluate the spatial and temporal patterns of mercury contamination in the park's biota... - Mercury levels in mink (Mustela vison) and river otter (Lontra canadensis) from northeastern North AmericaDavid E Yates
BioDiversity Research Institute, 19 Flaggy Meadow Road, Gorham ME 04038, USA
Ecotoxicology 14:263-74. 2005..Correlations among tissues for Hg concentration were stronger for male and female mink and male otter than female otter from Maine... - Marine foraging birds as bioindicators of mercury in the Gulf of MaineM Wing Goodale
BioDiversity Research Institute, 19 Flaggy Meadow Road, Gorham, ME 04038, USA

Department of Biology, Center for Great Lakes Research, Buffalo State College, Buffalo, NY 14222, USA
Ecotoxicology 14:149-62. 2005..Further studies focusing on benthos with well-understood life histories and foraging behavior are essential to improve our understanding of mercury transfer and bioavailability through aquatic systems... - Hematologic and physiologic reference ranges for free-ranging adult and young common loons (Gavia immer)Holly J Haefele
