Wild mammals can be valuable biological monitors of environmental gradients of metal concentrations. The choice of a particular species for a biological monitor must be based upon the circumstances of each study including species availability, the metals to be examined, area, and the study objectives and priorities. Ideally, a biological monitoring study should be designed to obtain and make use of the optimum amount of available information by complementing existing environmental studies, or through the simultaneous collection of other environmental data.
野生动物可以作为监测金属浓度环境梯度的有价值的生物指示剂。选择特定物种作为生物指示剂必须基于每个研究的具体情况，包括物种可用性、要研究的金属、研究区域以及研究目标和优先事项。理想情况下，生物监测研究应旨在通过补充现有环境研究或同时收集其他环境数据，来获取和利用最佳数量的可用信息。
