The influence of the foraging area on the intake of trace elements was evaluated in tissues of two species of gull: the black-headed gull (Larus ridibundus) and the herring gull (Larus argentatus). Mercury levels were higher in birds from the coastal environment than in those caught on inland dumps; birds found at one dump site showed high levels of lead. Interspecific differences in the levels of mercury and cadmium are discussed.
在两种鸥类的组织中评估了觅食区域对微量元素摄入量的影响,这两种鸥类分别是黑头鸥(红嘴鸥,学名:Larus ridibundus)和银鸥(学名:Larus argentatus)。来自沿海环境的鸟类体内汞含量高于在内陆垃圾场捕获的鸟类;在一个垃圾场发现的鸟类体内铅含量很高。文中还讨论了汞和镉含量的种间差异。
