    • The challenges of opportunistic sampling when comparing prevalence of plastics in diving seabirds: A multi-species example from Norway 

      Benjaminsen, Stine Charlotte; Dehnhard, Nina; Herzke, Dorte; Johnsen, Arild; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Bourgeon, Sophie; Collard, France; Langset, Magdalene; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Signe; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      There is a need for baseline information about how much plastics are ingested by wildlife and potential negative consequences thereof. We analysed the frequency of occurrence (FO) of plastics >1 mm in the stomachs of five ...

    • Evaluation of meso- and microplastic ingestion by the northern fulmar through a non-lethal sampling method 

      Collard, France; Strøm, Hallvard; Fayet, Marie-Océane; Gudmundsson, Fannar Theyr; Herzke, Dorte; Hotvedt, Ådne; Løchen, Arja Katrina Lea Arnesen; Malherbe, Cédric; Eppe, Gauthier; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      An increasing number of organisms from the polar regions are reported contaminated by plastic. Rarely a non-killing sampling method is used. In this study we wanted to assess plastic levels using stomach flushing and ...

    • Life starts with plastic: High occurrence of plastic pieces in fledglings of northern fulmars 

      Collard, France; Benjaminsen, Stine Charlotte; Herzke, Dorte; Husabø, Eirin; Sagerup, Kjetil; Tulatz, Felix; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Plastic pollution threatens many organisms around the world. In particular, the northern fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis, is known to ingest high quantities of plastics. Since data are sparse in the Eurasian Arctic, we investigated ...

    • Phthalate contamination in marine mammals off the Norwegian coast 

      Andvik, Clare Margaret; Bories, Pierre; Harju, Mikael; Borgå, Katrine; Jourdain, Eve Marie; Karoliussen, Richard; Rikardsen, Audun Håvard; Routti, Heli Anna Irmeli; Blévin, Pierre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Phthalates are used in plastics, found throughout the marine environment and have the potential to cause adverse health effects. In the present study, we quantified blubber concentrations of 11 phthalates in 16 samples ...

    • Plastic burdens in northern fulmars from Svalbard: Looking back 25 years 

      Collard, France; Bangjord, Georg; Herzke, Dorte; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The northern fulmar Fulmarus glacialis ingests a larger number of (micro)plastics than many other seabirds due to its feeding habits and gut morphology. Since 2002, they are bioindicators of marine plastics in the North ...
