Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated mercury levels in small mammals from different dietary groups in the polluted Mezquital Valley of Central Mexico, highlighting the need to understand mercury's impact on wild populations.
- - Researchers measured total mercury in the hair and liver of three species: a nectarivorous bat, an insectivorous bat, and a granivorous mouse, using atomic absorption spectrometry during different seasons.
- - Results showed higher mercury levels in hair than in liver, consistent levels across species, and a seasonal variation in liver mercury concentrations, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and the role of these mammals as biomonitors.
