DOI: 10.1002/etc.4697
Abstract: Waterfowl are often exposed to and readily accumulate anthropogenic contaminants while foraging in polluted environments. Settling impoundments containing coal combustion waste (CCW) enriched in trace elements such as arsenic (As), selenium (Se), and mercury (Hg)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-019-01246-8
Abstract: Manipulating hydrologic conditions at the land-water interface is critical for managing wetland functions. Hydrologic manipulation to increase retention time of water is used to promote wetland conditions, enhance nitrogen (N) processing for reduced N export,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12890
Abstract: Summary The diversity of beak shapes among birds is often assumed to be largely the result of adaptations to different feeding behaviors and diets. However, this assumption has only been tested for a small subset… read more here.
