Assessing Contamination Profiles in Livers from Road‐Killed Owls
Dulsat-Masvidal, Maria; Lourenço, Rui; Mateo, Rafael; Lacorte, SilviaRaptors are recognized as valuable sentinel species for monitoring environmental contaminants owing to their foraging behavior across terrestrial and aquatic food webs and their high trophic position. The present study monitored envi- ronmental contaminants in livers from road‐killed owls to evaluate differences in the exposure patterns due to factors such as species, age, and sex of individuals. Carcasses of r...
Exposure of an endangered seabird species to persistent organic pollutants: Ass...
Campioni, Letizia; Oró-Nolla, Bernat; Granadeiro, José P.; Silva, Monica C.; Madeiros, Jeremy; Gjerdrum, Carina; Lacorte, SilviaOcean contamination, particularly from persistent organic pollutants (POPs), remains a significant threat to marine predators that occupy high trophic positions. Long-lived procellariform seabirds are apex predators in marine ecosystems and tend to accumulate contaminants. Prolonged exposure to pollutants negatively affects their fitness including reproductive success. Low breeding success may represent a hurdl...

Cristale, Joyce [UNESP]; Aragão Belé, Tiago Gomes [UNESP]; Lacorte, Silvia; de Marchi, Mary Rosa Rodrigues [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-06T16:03:31Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Huge amounts of waste containing flame retardants reach landfills annually, which can result in environmental contamination if this type of solid residues is not properly managed. This study presents data concerning the occurrence of ...

Cristale, Joyce [UNESP]; Aragão Belé, Tiago Gomes [UNESP]; Lacorte, Silvia; Rodrigues de Marchi, Mary Rosa [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:15:54Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-06-01; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Indoor dust is considered an important human exposure route to flame retardants (FRs), which has arised concern due the toxic properties of some of these substances. In this study, ten organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), eight ...

Cristale, Joyce [UNESP]; Hurtado, Alba; Gómez-Canela, Cristian; Lacorte, SilviaMade available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:02:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-08-01; In this study, the simultaneous presence of eight polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), nine new brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) and ten organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) was investigated in dust samples collected from different indoor environments (homes, schools, theatres, a university a...
Separating natural from anthropogenic causes of impairment in Zebra mussel (Dre...
Faria, Melissa; Ochoa, Victoria; Blázquez, Mercedes; Juan, Maria Fernandes San; Lazzara, Raimondo; Lacorte, Silvia; Soares, Amadeu M. V .M.The relationship between the reproductive stage, the total lipid content and eight broadly used biochemical stress responses were used to assess seasonal and pollutant effects across eleven different zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) populations from the Ebro and Mijares river basin, Spain. Biochemical markers included superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), glutathione S transferase (G...
Identifying major pesticides affecting bivalve species exposed to agricultural ...
Damasio, Joana; Navarro-Ortega, Alícia; Tauler, Romà; Lacorte, Silvia; Barcelo, Damià; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; López, Miguel Angel; Riva, Mari CarmenThe aim of this investigation was to identify major pesticides that may cause detrimental effects in bivalve species affected by agricultural pollution. Investigations were carried out using freshwater clams (Corbicula fluminea) transplanted in the main drainage channels that collect the effluents coming from agriculture fields in the Ebro Delta (NE Spain) during the main growing season of rice (from May to Aug...
