“…For instance, more BNS will increase herbivory pressure, pushing individuals to consume lower parts of E. densa , which are closer to the sediment bed and richer in Fe content (Jaramillo et al, 2019; Universidad Austral de Chile, 2015). The reduction in river flow (up to 76%; DGA, 2021) can concentrate Fe in the system including the aquatic plants consumed by BNS, which in turn are subject to being bioaccumulated by waterbirds (Kosik‐Bogacka et al, 2019). Intoxication by Fe is rarely seen under natural conditions but depends on the species exposed to it (Cork, 2000).…”

This article is part of the special series "Diversity of Knowledge for a Sustainable Future in Latin America" and highlights timely research presented at the virtual SETAC Latin America 14th Biennial Meeting (2021). These articles reflect the urgent need to combine different knowledge sources and expertise to face current environmental challenges, decision-making, and problem solving. Risk, recovery, restoration, modeling, regulations, anthropic impact, and human health are some of the global environmental issues covered in this special series.

“…Urban fabrics and industrial areas in grey heron foraging buffers were the main factors influencing Fe concentrations in grey heron eggshells. Both habitat types are characterized by numerous sources of Fe emissions to the environment in the form of crustal and industrial dusts, sewages, or filtrates [ 60 , 61 ]. A relatively high Fe concentrations (>12 mg/kg) were found in colonies located close to industrial areas where large amounts of Fe were also found in the sediments of wetlands [ 56 , 59 ].…”

Artificial Neural Networks are used to find the influence of habitat types on the quality of the environment expressed by the concentrations of toxic and harmful elements in avian tissue. The main habitat types were described according to the Corine Land Cover CLC2012 model. Eggs of free-living species of a colonial waterbird, the grey heron Ardea cinerea, were used as a biological data storing media for biomonitoring. For modeling purposes, pollution indices expressing the sum of the concentration of harmful and toxic elements (multi-contamination rank index) and indices for single elements were created. In the case of all the examined indices apart from Cd, the generated topologies were a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with 1 hidden layer. Interestingly, in the case of Cd, the generated optimal topology was a network with a radial basis function (RBF). The data analysis showed that the increase in environmental pollution was mainly influenced by human industrial activity. The increase in Hg, Cd, and Pb content correlated mainly with the increase in the areas characterized by human activity (industrial, commercial, and transport units) in the vicinity of a grey heron breeding colony. The decrease in the above elements was conditioned by relative areas of farmland and inland waters. Pollution with Fe, Mn, Zn, and As was associated mainly with areas affected by industrial activities. As the location variable did not affect the quality of the obtained networks, it was removed from the models making them more universal.

This study examined the concentrations of Al, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the liver and kidney samples of golden jackals (n = 163) and red foxes (n = 64). Additionally, we studied how sex affected element concentration in both species, and in the case of golden jackals, how concentration levels were affected by age.Liver was the most important storage organ for Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, while kidney for Cd and Na in jackals and foxes.We found no sex-related differences in concentration of any of the selected elements in fox samples. In jackals, the mean concentrations of Al, Mn, and Zn were significantly higher in kidneys of males, while Zn and Cu had higher concentrations in female livers. Our results suggest bioaccumulation processes do not occur in mesocarnivores.Lead and Cd concentrations fell within ranges accepted as normal for canine species and were below toxic levels in the organs of the examined species. Concentrations of Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn were far below the toxic levels in both organs of both species, with a slight sign of deficiency of Fe, Mn, and Zn in jackal and fox kidneys. In comparison with toxicity levels and results from other European study sites, the current study demonstrated that species living in the examined area of Somogy County, Hungary, are generally exposed to low levels of environmental contamination.
