sponge halogenated natural products found at parts-per-million levels in marine mammals.	several unknown, abundant brominated compounds (bcs) were recently detected in the blubber of dolphins and other marine mammals from queensland (northeast australia). the bcs were interpreted as potential natural products due to the lack of anthropogenic sources for these compounds. this study investigated whether some of the bcs accumulated by diverse marine mammal species are identical with natural bcs previously isolated from sponges (dysidea sp.) living in the same habitat. isolates from spo ...	2002	12371475
discovery and widespread occurrence of polyhalogenated 1,1'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyrroles (pdbps) in marine biota.	polyhalogenated 1,1'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyrroles (pdbps) are halogenated natural products (hnps) previously shown to bioaccumulate in marine mammals and birds. since their discovery in 1999, six hexahalogenated and a few lesser halogenated congeners have been identified in diverse marine mammal samples. here we report the identification of 17 additional hexahalogenated pdbps in the blubber extract of a humpback dolphin (sousa chinensis) from queensland, australia. thirteen of these new pdbps were a ...	2013	23603470
