Impact of mercury released from permafrost on food safety in Switzerland
Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 2, Issue 4, October 2024.ABSTRACT Climate change has caused the permafrost to thaw, releasing the previously sequestered mercury into the environment. Mercury has the ability to convert to methylmercury, a bioaccumulative neurotoxin. Exposure occurs in humans through the ingestion of contaminated food and it is associated with adverse health effects.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 807-823, September 2024.We analyzed 190 specimens of the common European hermit crab species Pagurus bernhardus to look for the heterometry between the sexes regardless of the body size. We calculated three different indices and found all to be significantly different between males and females, indicating that males have bigger major and minor chelipeds than females, even if ...
