| Abstract: | Eight species of piscivorous and insectivorous birds and one species of bat collected along Virginia‘s North Fork of the Holston River contained elevated mercury residues. The ubiquitous occurrence of mercury in riparian insectivores implicates aquatic insects as a vehicle for spreading mercury contamination from one ecosystem to another and expands the ecological ramifications of mercury-contaminated industrial effluents. |
