    • From mother to egg: Variability in maternal transfer of trace elements and steroid hormones in common eider (Somateria mollissima) 

      Lemesle, Prescillia; Frøyland, Sunniva Helene; Ask, Amalie; Zhang, Junjie; Ciesielski, Tomasz Maciej; Asimakopoulos, Alexandros; Noreikiene, Kristina; Wilson, Nora M.; Sonne, Christian; Garbus, Svend Erik; Jaspers, Veerle Leontina B; Arzel, Céline (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      The Baltic Sea is among the most polluted seas worldwide with elevated concentrations of trace elements (TEs). TEs can induce negative effects on organisms and may be transferred to eggs causing endocrine-disrupting effects ...

    • Mercury contamination is an invisible threat to declining migratory shorebirds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway 

      Ma, Yanju; Choi, Chi-Yeung; Shang, Lihai; Klaassen, Marcel; Ma, Zhijun; Chang, Qing; Jaspers, Veerle Leontina B; Bai, Qingquan; He, Tao; Leung, Katherine K-S.; Hassell, Chris J.; Jessop, Roz; Gibson, Luke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Exposure to pollutants is a potentially crucial but overlooked driver of population declines in shorebirds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. We combined knowledge of moult strategy and life history with a standardised ...

    • Mercury Exposure in Birds of Prey from Norway: Relation to Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Signatures in Body Feathers 

      Gómez-Ramírez, Pilar; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Eulaers, Igor; Johnsen, Trond Vidar; Lepoint, Giles; Pérez-García, Juan Manuel; García-Fernández, Antonio Juan; Espín, Silvia; Jaspers, Veerle Leontina B (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Mercury (Hg) and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were analysed in body feathers from nestlings of white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) (WTE; n=13) and Northern goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) (NG; n=8) and ...

    • Metals and other trace elements in plasma and feathers of seabirds breeding in Svalbard 

      Lundgren, Silje Strand; Abbasi, Naeem A.; Waugh, Courtney Alice; Lee, Megan Marie; Ciesielski, Tomasz Maciej; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Descamps, Sebastien; Jaspers, Veerle Leontina B (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      We assessed the concentrations of metals and other trace elements in two of the most common seabird species breeding on Svalbard, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) and the Brünnich's guillemot (Uria lomvia). ...

    • Microplastics in faeces of European shags Gulosus aristotelis in central Norway 

      Maaseide, Birte Margrete Torp; Ofstad, Johannes; Erbe, Andreas; Jaspers, Veerle Leontina B; Monclús, Laura; Dehnhard, Nina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Plastic pollution is an increasing problem in the marine environment, and microplastics are frequently ingested by wildlife, including seabirds. Faeces are an increasingly used matrix to quantify egested microplastics. We ...

    • Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) do not accumulate with age or affect population survival in ruddy turnstone (Arenaria interpres) 

      Ross, Tobias A.; Zhang, Junjie; Skaalvik, Tonje Gottenberg; Atkinson, Robyn; Jessop, Roz; Asimakopoulos, Alexandros; Jaspers, Veerle Leontina B; Klaassen, Marcel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may threaten wildlife due to their high environmental persistence, toxicity potential and potential to bioaccumulate. Bioaccumulation may be particularly profound in long-lived ...

    • Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances in Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) feathers from Trøndelag, Norway 

      Zhang, Junjie; Jaspers, Veerle Leontina B; Røe, Jonas; Varela, Gabriela Castro; Kroglund, Ingvild Buran; Villa Gonzalez, Susana; Østnes, Jan Eivind; Asimakopoulos, Alexandros (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are contaminants of global concern due to their ubiquitous occurrence in the environment, bioaccumulation and the adverse effects on organisms. Tawny Owls (Strix aluco) are ...

    • A retrospective investigation of feather corticosterone in a highly contaminated white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) population
