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 ...
