Liver and blubber samples from 50 juvenile male northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) were collected on St. Paul Island from four different seal rookeries between 1987 and 2007. Samples were analyzed for vitamins and for both legacy and current-use

Remote locations, such as the Arctic, are often sinks for persistent contaminants which can ultimately bioaccumulate in local wildlife. Assessing temporal contaminant trends in the Arctic is important in understanding whether restrictions on legacy

SEABIRD TISSUE ARCHIVAL AND MONITORING PROJECT: Egg Collections and Analytical Results for 2006-2009

Stacy S. Schuur, Paul R. Becker, Sylvain Berail, Russell D. Day, Olivier F. Donard, Keith A. Hobson, Amanda J. Moors, Rebecca S. Pugh, Lauren B. Rust, David G. Roseneau
Since 1999, the Seabird Tissue Archival and Monitoring Project (STAMP) has collected, banked, and analyzed seabird eggs using established protocols to monitor chlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), brominated flame retardants, and

Mercury Stable Isotopes in Seabird Eggs Reflect a Gradient from Terrestrial Geogenic to Oceanic Mercury Reservoirs

April 21, 2012

Russell D. Day, David G. Roseneau, Sylvain Berail, Keith A. Hobson, O.F.X Donard, Stacy S. Schuur, Rebecca S. Pugh, Amanda J. Moors, Stephen E. Long, Paul R. Becker
Elevated mercury concentrations ([Hg]) were found in Alaskan seabird eggs (Uria spp.) from the coastal embayment of Norton Sound relative to insular colonies in the northern Bering Sea. Stable isotopes of Hg, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) were measured in

Regional, Temporal, and Species Patterns of Mercury in Alaskan Seabird Eggs: Mercury Sources and Cycling or Food Web Effects?

Russell D. Day, David G. Roseneau, Stacy S. Schuur, Keith A. Hobson, O.F.X Donard, Rebecca S. Pugh, Amanda J. Moors, Paul R. Becker
Mercury concentration ([Hg]), δ15N, and δ13C were measured in eggs from common murres (Uria aalge), thick-billed murres (U. lomvia), glaucous gulls (Larus hyperboreus), and glaucous-winged gulls (L. glaucescens) collected throughout Alaska from 1999 to

Bottlenose Dolphins as Indicators of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Waters Along the US East and Gulf of Mexico Coasts

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including legacy POPs (PCBs, chlordanes, mirex, DDTs, HCB, and dieldrin) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants were determined in 300 blubber biopsy samples from coastal and near shore/estuarine male

Geographic Differences in Organic Contaminants and Stable Isotopes (d13C, d15N) in Thick-billed Murre (Uria lomvia) Eggs from Alaska

Stacy S. Schuur, Russell D. Day, Paul R. Becker, Rebecca S. Pugh, Michael B. Ellisor, Keith A. Hobson, David G. Roseneau
Thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia) eggs were collected from four Alaskan colonies in 2002. The contents were analyzed for organic contaminants and carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes. Contaminant concentrations in eggs varied from below
