Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic magnification factors: Considerations of ecology, ecosystems, and study design
Katrine Borgå,Karen A. Kidd,Derek C. G. Muir,Olof Berglund,Jason M. Conder,Frank A. P. C. Gobas,John R. Kucklick,Olaf Malm,David E. Powell +8 more
TL;DR: Empirical TMFs are likely to be useful for understanding the food web biomagnification potential of chemicals, but may be less useful in species- and site-specific risk assessments, where the goal is to predict absolute contaminant concentrations in organisms in relation to threshold levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between organochlorine contaminant concentrations and clinical health parameters in loggerhead sea turtles from North Carolina, USA.
Jennifer M. Keller,Jennifer M. Keller,John R. Kucklick,M. Andrew Stamper,Craig A. Harms,Patricia McClellan-Green,Patricia McClellan-Green +6 more
TL;DR: Correlations suggest that OC contaminants may be affecting the health of loggerhead sea turtles even though sea turtles accumulate lower concentrations of OCs compared with other wildlife.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This assessment made use of risk quotient calculations to summarize the cumulative effects of different OHC classes and mercury for which critical body burdens can be estimated for wildlife across the Arctic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of organochlorine contaminants on loggerhead sea turtle immunity: comparison of a correlative field study and in vitro exposure experiments.
Jennifer M. Keller,Jennifer M. Keller,Patricia McClellan-Green,Patricia McClellan-Green,John R. Kucklick,Deborah E. Keil,Margie M. Peden-Adams +6 more
TL;DR: Current, chronic exposure to OCs may suppress innate immunity and enhance certain lymphocyte functions of loggerhead sea turtles, and correlative observations in free-ranging turtles suggest that OC exposure modulates immunity in loggerhead turtles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of HBCD, PBDEs and MeO-BDEs in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) stranded between 1993 and 2003.
Heather M. Stapleton,Nathan G. Dodder,John R. Kucklick,Christopher M. Reddy,Michele M. Schantz,Paul R. Becker,Frances M. D. Gulland,Barbara J. Porter,Stephen A. Wise +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that brominated compounds from both anthropogenic and biogenic sources can accumulate to similar levels in marine mammals, and HBCD concentrations appear to be increasing in California sea lion populations, whereas PBDE concentrations, between 1993 and 2003, were highly variable.
