“…In urban environments, road traffic, residential heating, coal burning, and industry are the main sources of MTE pollution 28 . Literature on bird exposure to MTEs is abundant, although only a minority of studies focussed on urban MTE pollution 29 , and all of those studies but three 15 , 16 , 30 compared MTE concentrations in individuals using the coarse dichotomy of urban versus non-urban areas 31 – 40 . Those studies measured MTEs in feathers, blood, liver, kidney, bones or eggshell.…”

While there are increasing examples of phenotypic and genotypic differences between urban and non-urban populations of plants and animals, few studies identified the mechanisms explaining those dissimilarities. The characterization of the urban landscape, which can only be achieved by measuring variability in relevant environmental factors within and between cities, is a keystone prerequisite to understand the effects of urbanization on wildlife. Here, we measured variation in bird exposure to metal pollution within 8 replicated urbanization gradients and within 2 flagship bird species in urban evolutionary ecology: the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) and the great tit (Parus major). We report on a highly significant, positive linear relationship between the magnitude of urbanization—inferred as either tree cover, impervious surface cover, or an urbanization score computed from several environmental variables, and copper, zinc and lead concentrations in bird feathers. The reverse relationship was measured in the case of mercury, while cadmium and arsenic did not vary in response to the urbanization level. This result, replicated across multiple cities and two passerine species, strongly suggests that copper, zinc, lead and mercury pollution is likely to trigger the emergence of parallel responses at the phenotypic and/or genotypic level between urban environments worldwide.

Science Mapping: A Scientometric Review on Resource Curses, Dutch Diseases, and Conflict Resources during 1993–2020

Over the past few decades, the wealth of Africa has not made African wealthy. There is a voicing that Africa is cursed, whether richly poor or poorly rich. Sub-Saharan Africa is commonplace for political turbulence, as well as humanitarian and economic misery. In such a catastrophic situa-tion, political economics studies have focused on the Resource Curses, Dutch Diseases, and Con-flict Resources in this area. A systematic scientometric analysis of this field would be beneficial but is currently lacking in the academic literature. Using VOSviewer and CiteSpace, this review fills the void by analyzing the 1783 articles published in the WoS SSCI Collection between 1993 and 2020 on the “Resource Curses”, “Dutch Diseases”, and “Conflict Resources”. The author dis-cusses recent papers with disruptive potential, references with the most robust citation explora-tions, and cooperation networks between authors and institutes. Three hotspots were detected: the causes and effects of the Resource curses; the interaction among the Resource Curses, Dutch Diseases, and Conflict Resources; the factors that affect rent collection and regime resilience. While the literature on the “Resource curse” and “Dutch Disease” has been around longer, studies on “Conflict Resources” are picking up quickly. Conflict Resources were characterized by active citation exploration keywords and multiple active co-citation clusters, including possibly groundbreaking articles. There is a massive overlap between the three strings of literature, but each one has its emphasis.

“…Heavy Metals (HM) usually refers to a category of metallic element and metalloids with an atomic concentration of more than 4g / cm 3 or 5 times greater than water. Though, the chemical properties of the heavy metals are the most influencing factors compared to their density [5,6].…”

Landfills and dumping areas host huge assemblages of scavenger birds (crows, mynahs, housesparrows etc.). Feeding on landfills and dumping sites can cause several problems and toxic effects on wildlife due to heavy metals (HM) exposure with environmental concerns. This study was designed to explore the preferential accumulation of Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), and Cadmium (Cd) in blood and feather of scavenger bird samples that existed in the area of Lakhodair landfill, Mehmood Booti Waste dumping site of Lahore, and Muhammad Wala Waste dumping site Faisalabad. The metals deposition was examined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The results showed the Pb concentration was significantly higher (P ≤ 0.05) and the Cd concentration was the lowest in birds of waste dumping sites. The concentration of the metals in the blood and feather varies in different species of birds trend as Pb>Cr>Ni>Cd. Findings of present study suggest that environmental pollution of heavy metals is increasingly becoming a problem due to adverse effects to scavenging birds.
