Metal Accumulation by Jatropha curcas L. Adult Plants Grown on Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soil [PDF]
, 2020 Jatropha curcas has the ability to phytoextract high amounts of heavy metals during its first months just after seeding. Notwithstanding, there is scarce information about metal uptake by adult J. curcas plants. To shed light on this issue, 4-year-old J.

Bioaccumulation modelling and sensitivity analysis for discovering key players in contaminated food webs: the case study of PCBs in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
, 2015 Modelling bioaccumulation processes at the food web level is the main step to analyse the effects of pollutants at the global ecosystem level. A crucial question is understanding which species play a key role in the trophic transfer of contaminants to ...

Bioconcentration as a key driver of Hg bioaccumulation in high-trophic-level fish [PDF]
BiogeosciencesThe ability of monomethylmercury (MMHg+) to bioaccumulate in seafood is of concern due to its neurotoxic properties. The challenge in understanding MMHg+ bioaccumulation lies in the fact that its levels in higher trophic levels result from both ...

A long-term copper exposure on freshwater ecosystem using lotic mesocosms: Individual and population responses of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) [PDF]
, 2007 Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) was used as the highest trophic level predator in an outdoor mesocosm study assessing the effect of environmentally realistic copper concentration (0, 5, 25 and 75 μg L−1) over 18 months of continuous ...

Tissue distribution and bioaccumulation of a novel polyfluoroalkyl benzenesulfonate in crucian carp
Environment International, 2020 The emergence of novel per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has enabled researchers to determine their bioaccumulation, which is important for understanding their internal doses and environmental risks.
