Migratory seabirds such as storm-petrels may forage in areas with different contaminant levels throughout the annual cycle and may show a carry-over of mercury from the winter quarters to the breeding sites. In this study, we compared mercury levels among seven species of storm-petrels breeding on the Antarctic South Shetlands and subantarctic Kerguelen Islands, in temperate waters of the Chatham Islands, New Zealand, and in temperate waters of the Pacific off Mexico. We tested for differences in the level of contamination associated with breeding and inter-breeding distribution and trophic position. We collected inert body feathers and metabolically active blood samples in ten colonies, reflecting long-term (feathers) and short-term (blood) exposures during different periods ranging from early non-breeding (moult) to late breeding. Feathers represent mercury accumulated over the annual cycle between two successive moults. Mercury concentrations in feathers ranged over more than an order of magnitude among species, being lowest in subantarctic Grey-backed Storm-petrels (0.5\u00a0\u03bcg\u00a0g<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> dw) and highest in subtropical Leach\u2019s Storm-petrels (7.6\u00a0\u03bcg\u00a0g<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> dw, i.e. posing a moderate toxicological risk). Among Antarctic Storm-petrels, Black-bellied Storm-petrels had threefold higher values than Wilson\u2019s Storm-petrels, and in both species, birds from the South Shetlands (Antarctica) had threefold higher values than birds from Kerguelen (subantarctic Indian Ocean). Blood represents mercury taken up over several weeks, and showed similar trends, being lowest in Grey-backed Storm-petrels from Kerguelen (0.5\u00a0\u03bcg\u00a0g<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> dw) and highest in Leach\u2019s Storm-petrels (3.6\u00a0\u03bcg\u00a0g<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> dw). Among Antarctic storm-petrels, species differences in the blood samples were similar to those in feathers, but site differences were less consistent. Over the breeding season, mercury decreased in blood samples of Antarctic Wilson\u2019s Storm-petrels, but did not change in Wilson\u2019s Storm-petrels from Kerguelen or in Antarctic Black-bellied Storm-petrels. In summary, we found that mercury concentrations in storm-petrels varied due to the distribution of species and differences in prey choice. Depending on prey choices, Antarctic storm-petrels can have similar mercury concentrations as temperate species. The lowest contamination was observed in subantarctic species and populations. The study shows how seabirds, which accumulate dietary pollutants in their tissues in the breeding and non-breeding seasons, can be used to survey marine pollution. Storm-petrels with their wide distributions and relatively low trophic levels may be especially useful, but more detailed knowledge on their prey choice and distributions is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00244-023-01011-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]],"date-time":"2023-07-13T03:38:28Z","timestamp":1689219508000},"page":"55-72","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Mercury in Ten Storm-Petrel Populations from the Antarctic to the Subtropics"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"85","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4450-8688","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Petra","family":"Quillfeldt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuliana","family":"Bedolla-Guzm\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcela M.","family":"Libertelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9469-9489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yves","family":"Cherel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Massaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3877-9390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paco","family":"Bustamante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"1011_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2107","DOI":"10.1897\/04-617R.1","volume":"24","author":"T Agusa","year":"2005","unstructured":"Agusa T, Matsumoto T, Ikemoto T, Anan Y, Kubota R, Yasunaga G, Kunito T, Tanabe S, Ogi H, Shibata Y (2005) Body distribution of trace elements in Blacktailed gulls from Rishiri Island, Japan: age-dependent accumulation and transfer to feathers and eggs.
