Deepwater Horizoncrude oil reduces aerobic capacity of birds

Abstract: Crude oil spills can have catastrophic effects on marine and inland ecosystems, yet it is difficult to accurately quantify the extent of ecological damage caused by oil spills. For instance, avian population damage assessments conducted after large oil spills (e.g., Deepwater Horizon spill) often focus on the number of visibly oiled birds. However, birds without visible oiling can exhibit hematological damage from oil ingestion. If such hematological responses limit oxygen deliver to tissues and impair aerobic… Show more
