Exposure of White-throated Dippers to heavy metals in acidified and non-acidified streams in Norway

Abstract: We examined the exposure of White-throated Dippers (Cinclus cinclus) to aluminum and mercury in acidified and nonacidified streams in two regions of Norway. Both metals showed significantly higher concentrations in the body tissues of dippers in acidified streams at southern sites compared to non-acidified streams in central Norway. Elevated concentrations of aluminum in acidified areas could not be explained by a corresponding elevated level of aluminum in the invertebrate foods of dippers. During our study p… Show more
