Deadly pesticides STILL in use: Neonics are killing bees and birds, warn researchers
Migration is important in the life of birds. It lets them find good food, a good mate and a good nesting site. Should migration be stalled, birds risk missing all of these benefits that, more often than not, could mean life or death. In a recent breakthrough, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan (USask) in Canada found […]

Scientists discover toxic metals in reproductive organs of endangered eels
The European eel, scientifically known as Anguilla anguilla, is a catadromous fish — meaning it spawns and is born at sea before moving toward freshwater to eat and grow. Throughout their lifespan, these fish travel thousands of miles searching for food while going through several life stages, each marked by a change of color. Once they are ready […]

Mercury exposure catches up to world’s fastest bird; study says it can adversely affect breeding. What else is it harming?
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) may be the fastest bird on the planet, but it isn’t fast enough to outrun the toxic heavy metal named after the Roman god of communication and travel. The feathers of peregrines across the United States have displayed signs of mercury contamination. In Nevada, a researcher with the state’s Department […]

If great white sharks can’t escape heavy metals poisoning, where does that leave the rest of us?
The great white sharks in South African waters have been found to contain high levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury in their blood. While the sharks might shrug off the deadly effects of the heavy metals, the presence of the toxins suggest that their prey were badly contaminated – and humans also rely on some of […]

Exposure to microplastics weakens the grip of mussels, which may affect biodiversity and reduce aquaculture yields
Increasing numbers of microplastics are found inside mussels and other shellfish during recent years. Now, a U.K. study warns that exposure to these tiny plastics makes it more difficult for blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) to get a grip on a surface, much less hang on to its surroundings while getting pounded by the surf or tugged at […]
