To characterise mercury (Hg) exposure in Daubenton's bat (Myotis daubentonii, Kuhl 1817) in southern Sweden, 17 specimens were captured in 2013 and back fur samples were taken for analysis to determine Hg concentrations. The fur Hg levels determined [1.15 ± 0.27 (mean ± standard deviation, n = 17) µg Hg g fresh weight (fw)] represent a baseline for comparison in future assessments of Hg exposure in bat populations in northern Europe. Mercury concentrations were close to those reported in fur from other bat species, but were lower than proposed toxicological thresholds in bats (> 30 µg Hg g fw) and mice (5 µg Hg g fw). This is the first study to examine Hg exposure in bats in Scandinavia.
为了描述瑞典南部道氏鼠耳蝠(Myotis daubentonii,库尔1817年)的汞(Hg)暴露情况,2013年捕获了17只样本,并采集背部毛发样本进行分析以确定汞浓度。所测定的毛发汞含量[1.15±0.27(平均值±标准差,n = 17)微克汞/克鲜重(fw)]代表了未来北欧蝙蝠种群汞暴露评估中的一个比较基线。汞浓度与其他蝙蝠物种毛发中报告的浓度相近,但低于蝙蝠(> 30微克汞/克fw)和小鼠(5微克汞/克fw)提议的毒理学阈值。这是第一项研究斯堪的纳维亚半岛蝙蝠汞暴露情况的研究。
