The role of the Korean wood mouse (Apodemus peninsulae Thomas, 1907) in mercury transport in ecosystems in the south-east of Sikhote-Alin [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The role of the Korean wood mouse in mercury transport was studied by total mercury in 2018 and 2022. In 2018, the total mercury content of the Korean wood mouse was generally lower than in 2022.
