| Methylmercury availability in invertebrate foodwebs | | S-HR-6 | | Poster | | Methylmercury bioaccumulates in tissues and can cause behavioral, physiological and reproductive effects. This has been well-documented in piscivorous animals, but bioaccumulation of methylmercury in insect-eating wildlife can sometimes exceed that of fish-eating birds. How methylmercury passes through food webs for non-piscivorous wildlife will be the focus of this symposium. | David Evers
