    • Bioaccumulation of Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Antarctic Breeding South Polar Skuas (Catharacta maccormicki) and Their Prey 

      Alfaro Garcia, Laura Andrea; Descamps, Sebastien; Herzke, Dorte; Chastel, Olivier; Carravieri, Alice; Cherel, Yves; Labadie, Pierre; Budzinski, Helene; Munoz, Gabriel; Bustamante, Paco; Polder, Anuschka; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Borgå, Katrine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are found in Antarctic wildlife, with high levels in the avian top predator south polar skua (Catharacta maccormicki). As increasing PFAS concentrations were found in the south ...

    • Exposure to PFAS is associated with telomere length dynamics and demographic responses of an arctic top predator 

      Sebastiano, Manrico; Angelier, Frédéric; Blévin, Pierre; Ribout, Cécile; Sagerup, Kjetil; Descamps, Sebastien; Herzke, Dorte; Moe, Børge; Barbarud, Christophe; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Chastel, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Environmental factors that can influence telomeres are diverse, but the association between telomeres and exposure to environmental contaminants is yet to be elucidated. To date, prior studies have focused on legacy ...

    • The Troll Observing Network (TONe): plugging observation holes in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica 

      Pedersen, Christina Alsvik; Njåstad, Birgit; Aas, Wenche; Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Descamps, Sebastien; Flått, Stig; Hattermann, Tore; Hudson, Stephen; Miloch, Wojciech Jacek; Rykkje, Simen; Schweitzer, Johannes; Storvold, Rune; Tronstad, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Understanding how Antarctica is changing and how these changes influence the rest of the Earth is fundamental to the future robustness of human society. Strengthening our understanding of these changes and their implications ...

    • Trophic and fitness correlates of mercury and organochlorine compound residues in egg-laying Antarctic petrels 

      Carravieri, Alice; Warner, Nicholas Alexander; Herzke, Dorte; Brault-Favrou, Maud; Tarroux, Arnaud; Fort, Jérôme; Bustamante, Paco; Descamps, Sebastien (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Understanding the drivers and effects of exposure to contaminants such as mercury (Hg) and organochlorine compounds (OCs) in Antarctic wildlife is still limited. Yet, Hg and OCs have known physiological and fitness effects ...
