| landscape factors and hydrology influence mercury concentrations in wading birds breeding in the florida everglades, usa. | the hydrology of wetland ecosystems is a key driver of both mercury (hg) methylation and waterbird foraging ecology, and hence may play a fundamental role in waterbird exposure and risk to hg contamination. however, few studies have investigated hydrological factors that influence waterbird hg exposure. we examined how several landscape-level hydrological variables influenced hg concentrations in great egret and white ibis adults and chicks in the florida everglades. the great egret is a visual ... | 2013 | 23707869 |
