“…During avian moulting, the growth of feathers sequesters circulating Hg, making feathers an important indicator of Hg bioaccumulation 45 . Although there has been some controversy related to the variability of Hg concentration in different feathers at different times 46 , recent studies have confirmed the feasibility of using feathers in Hg monitoring with careful consideration of the specific moulting patterns amongst bird species, populations and age classes [47][48][49] . Specifically, Bottini et al 47 showed the strong correlation (R 2 > 0.90) between Hg concentration in blood and feathers, opening the way to use flight feathers (primary, secondary, tail, and covert feathers) for which moult patterns have been carefully documented in species of interest to evaluate Hg burden at the times and sites of feather growth.…”

“…For example, Ma et al 50 applied this approach to establish Hg exposure for North American passerines across their breeding grounds, covering a wide geographic range. Moreover, only small feather samples are required to measure Hg exposure accurately 49 .…”
