Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are of concern due to their widespread use, persistence in the environment, tendency accumulate animal tissues, and growing evidence toxicity. Between 2006 2011 we collected blood plasma from 261 bald eagle nestlings six study areas upper Midwestern United States. Samples were assessed for levels 16 different PFCs. We used regression analysis a Bayesian framework evaluate spatial temporal trends these analytes. found as high 7370 ng/mL sum all PFCs (∑PFCs)....
Abstract Island biogeography theory is a foundational ecological concept that describes how island or habitat patch size and isolation predict biodiversity, but few have studied the effects of vary with life history characteristics temperate mammal communities. From 2014 to 2020, we surveyed volant nonvolant mammals within Apostle Islands archipelago (Wisconsin, USA) using camera trapping, live acoustic monitoring. We used linear regression information‐theoretic model selection evaluate on...
We report on patterns and trends in polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) the plasma of 284 bald eagle nestlings sampled between 1995 2011 at six study areas upper Midwestern United States. Geometric mean concentrations total PBDEs (Σ nine congeners) ranged from 1.78 ng/mL St. Croix River watershed to 12.0 Mississippi River. Lake Superior fell these two extremes. Between 2006 2011, differed among with three declining, remaining stable, one increasing. Variation ΣPBDE was linked individual...

We analyzed concentrations and trends of DDE, total PCBs, mercury in bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) nestlings at six study areas the upper Midwest, 2006–2015, long-term two Lake Superior sites, 1989–2015. Eaglet plasma from Apostle Islands had highest DDE (geometric mean [GM] = 10.6 μg/L), decreased 5.8% per year across region 2006 to 2015, 5.5% sites 1989 2015.

Abstract We analyzed concentrations and trends of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in blood plasma samples bald eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) nestlings at 6 study areas the upper Midwest United States, 2006 to 2015, long‐term 2 Lake Superior (USA/Canada) sites, 1995 2015.

Evidence was found of Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) killing and partially consuming a radio-marked River Otter (Lutra canadensis) in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota.There is little evidence the literature to suggest that Otters are regular source prey for Wolves, however, wolves may incidentally kill Otter.
Abstract We measured concentrations of up to 17 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in plasma 492 bald eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) nestlings between 1995 and 2017 from 12 study areas Wisconsin Minnesota, USA. Geometric mean the sum 9 PBDE congeners (∑PBDE) across all years ranged 2.88 10.8 µg/L, urban had higher than those remote locations. Region‐wide 2006 through 2017, we found that ∑PBDEs declined by 3.8% annually BDE‐47, ‐99, ‐100 5.6 6.5%, whereas BDE‐153 ‐154 no significant...
