In this study, perfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) were analyzed in 92 surface seawater samples taken during the Malaspina 2010 expedition which covered all tropical and subtropical Atlantic, Pacific Indian oceans. Nine ionic PFASs including C6–C10 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs), C4 C6–C8 sulfonic (PFSAs) two neutral precursors sulfonamides (PFASAs), identified quantified. The Atlantic Ocean presented broader range concentrations of total (131–10900 pg/L, median 645 n = 45)...
In this study, we evaluate the main factors driving exposure of Southern Ocean seabirds to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) across a wide geographic range. Five perfluoroalkane sulfonates (PFSAs, C4–12), 10 carboxylic acids (PFCAs, C4–13), and perfluorooctane sulfonamide (FOSA) were analyzed in plasma (n = 128) from eight species, including penguins, giant petrels, skuas, albatrosses, shearwaters, breeding at four sites Antarctic, sub-Antarctic, adjacent cool-temperate regions. Mean ∑PFAS...
The existence of two seasonally distinct breeding populations Oceanodroma storm‐petrels in the Azores islands was first documented 1996. discovery morphological differences between led to suggestion that they may represent cryptic sibling species. Recent mtDNA and microsatellite analysis from storm‐petrel has considerably advanced our understanding their taxonomic relationships. Here we present new information on timing moult populations, extent exchange individuals seasons, diet feather...
Although seabirds have been proposed as useful biomonitors for organochlorine contaminants (OCs) in marine environments, their suitability is still unclear. To understand the geographic variability and influence of seabird trophic ecology OC levels, we analyzed PCBs, DDTs, δ13C, δ15N blood adult Calonectris shearwaters throughout a vast range within northeast Atlantic Ocean (from Cape Verde to Azores) Mediterranean Sea Alboran Crete). concentrations were greater birds from than those...

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a global threat, but impacts of these chemicals upon remote areas such as Antarctica remain unclear. Penguins can be useful species to assess the occurrence POPs in Antarctic food webs. This work's aim was evaluation polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) eggs two penguin species, chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarticus) gentoo penguins papua), breeding South Shetland Islands....
The aim of the present study was to assess presence perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), namely perfluoroalkane sulfonates and carboxylic acids, in Spanish river basins order to: identify potential spatiotemporal variations; evaluate effectiveness measures implemented for reduction/elimination these pollutants; verify fulfillment Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) European Union. PFOS PFOA were determined 116 water samples from four sites Duero basin, largest Iberian Peninsula, collected...
Antarctica is no longer pristine due to the confirmed presence of anthropogenic contaminants like Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Benthic organisms are poorly represented in contamination studies although they known bioaccumulate contaminants. Sponges (Phylum Porifera) dominant members Antarctic benthos, both terms abundance and biomass, an important feeding source for other organisms, playing key functional roles benthic communities. To best our knowledge, legacy chlorinated POPs such...

Abstract Aim Intraspecific variability in the migratory movements of seabirds is being revealed far more complex than hitherto recognized, and our lack understanding undermines their effective protection. Our aim to test whether isotopic values a single feather two threatened seabirds, M editerranean ( P uffinus yelkouan ) B alearic mauretanicus shearwaters allow geographic assignment birds non‐breeding areas. Location These species are known use three main areas: NE A tlantic O cean, W...
Bird migration studies have been given added impetus recently thanks to the miniaturisation of tracking devices. However, methodologies remained impractical for smallest pelagic species and so important gaps in knowledge still exist. In case European Storm-petrel Hydrobates pelagicus, while Atlantic populations are thought overwinter along south-western African coast, winter quarters Mediterranean birds remain more enigmatic. We performed stable isotope analysis (SIA) C N on P1, S8 P10...
