Polychlorinated biphenyl exposure and corticosterone levels in seven polar seabird species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The role of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on exposure-related endocrine effects has been poorly investigated in wild birds. This is the case for stress hormones including corticosterone (CORT). Some studies have suggested ... -
Spatial variations in winter Hg contamination affect egg volume in an Arctic seabird, the great skua (Stercorarius skua)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Knowledge of the ecology and at-sea distribution of migratory species like seabirds has substantially increased over the last two decades. Furthermore, an increasing number of studies have recently focused on chemical ... -
Survival rate and breeding outputs in a high Arctic seabird exposed to legacy persistent organic pollutants and mercury
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Chronic exposure to pollutants may represent a threat for wildlife.We tested whether adult survival rate, breeding probability and breeding success the year of sampling and the following year were affected by blood levels ...
