      Global warming is a nonlinear process, and temperature may increase in a stepwise manner. Periods of abrupt warming can trigger persistent changes in the state of ecosystems, also called regime shifts. The responses of ...
    • Contrasting Spatial and Seasonal Trends of Methylmercury Exposure Pathways of Arctic Seabirds: Combination of Large-Scale Tracking and Stable Isotopic Approaches 

      Renedo, Marina; Amouroux, David; Albert, Céline; Bérail, Sylvain; Bråthen, Vegard Sandøy; Gavrilo, Maria; Grémillet, David; Helgason, Hálfdán H.; Jakubas, Dariusz; Mosbech, Anders; Strøm, Hallvard; Tessier, Emmanuel; Wojczulanis-Jakubas, Katarzyna; Bustamante, Paco; Fort, Jérôme (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Despite the limited direct anthropogenic mercury (Hg) inputs in the circumpolar Arctic, elevated concentrations of methylmercury (MeHg) are accumulated in Arctic marine biota. However, the MeHg production and bioaccumulation ...

      Each winter, the North Atlantic Ocean is the stage for numerous cyclones, the most severe ones leading to seabird mass-mortality events called ‘‘winter wrecks.’’ During these, thousands of emaciated seabird carcasses are ...
    • Seasonal variation of mercury contamination in Arctic seabirds: A pan-Arctic assessment
