Methylmercury in subarctic amphibians: Environmental gradients, bioaccumulation, and estimated flux Methylmercury in subarctic amphibians: Environmental gradients, bioaccumulation, and estimated flux
Rapid warming in polar regions is causing large changes to ecosystems, including altering environmentally available mercury (Hg). Although subarctic freshwater systems have simple vertebrate communities, Hg in amphibians remains unexplored. We measured total Hg (THg) in wetland sediments and methylmercury (MeHg) in multiple life-stages (eggs to adults) of wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) and...
