Helminthic Parasites as Heavy Metal Bioindicators in Aquatic Ecosystems
Abstract Heavy metals have raised one of the most important problems in ecology and organisms life especially human being and animals. A variety of indicators including tissues of fish, birds and sediment have been used recently to measure the aquatic pollution with heavy metals. The aim of this study was to search the published articles in Iran a...
متن کاملLinking mercury, carbon, and nitrogen stable isotopes in Tibetan biota: Implications for using mercury stable isotopes as source tracers
Tibetan Plateau is located at a mountain region isolated from direct anthropogenic sources. Mercury concentrations and stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, and mercury were analyzed in sediment and biota for Nam Co and Yamdrok Lake. Biotic mercury concentrations and high food web magnification factors suggested that Tibetan Plateau is no longer a pristine site. The primary source of methylmercu...
متن کاملStable carbon isotopes in exhaled breath as tracers for dietary information in birds and mammals.
The stable carbon isotope ratio of exhaled CO(2) (delta(13)C(breath)) reflects the isotopic signature of the combusted substrate and is, therefore, suitable for the non-invasive collection of dietary information from free-ranging animals. However, delta(13)C(breath) is sensitive to changes in ingested food items and the mixed combustion of exogenous and endogenous substrates. Therefore, experim...
متن کاملStable isotopes applied as water tracers in column and field studies
The stable isotopes deuterium (H, D) and oxygen 18 (O) were applied in water for use as tracers in column experiments and in two field studies. Their performance was compared against uranine and was used to characterize saturated and unsaturated water movement and depths of plant water uptake. Deuterium and O are completely soluble and chemically and biologically stable. They are not subject to...
