Abstract

Relatively little information exists on the effects of mercury on terrestrial wildlife populations. We analyzed 38 free-living small rodent females (Myodes glareolus, Microtus agrestris, and Apodemus flavicolis), of which 11 were pregnant, for total mercury concentrations in combined liver and kidney samples. Using a single-purpose atomic absorption spectrometer for mercury determination, the measured mercury values ranged from 0.006 to 0.079 mg/kg. Pregnant females had significantly (P<0.041) higher mercury levels in liver and kidney than did nonpregnant females. Our results suggest that during mercury biomonitoring studies it is necessary to consider the pregnancy of the analyzed animals.

怀孕对自由生活的小型啮齿动物体内汞浓度的影响

有关汞对陆生野生动物种群影响的信息相对较少。我们对 38 只自由生活的雌性小型啮齿动物（Myodes glareolus、Microtus agrestris 和 Apodemus flavicolis）（其中 11 只已怀孕）的肝脏和肾脏综合样本中的总汞浓度进行了分析。使用单用途原子吸收光谱仪进行汞测定，测得的汞值介于 0.006 至 0.079 毫克/千克之间。雌性孕妇的肝脏和肾脏样本中的总汞含量明显高于雄性孕妇（P

期刊介绍： The JWD publishes reports of wildlife disease investigations, research papers, brief research notes, case and epizootic reports, review articles, and book reviews. The JWD publishes the results of original research and observations dealing with all aspects of infectious, parasitic, toxic, nutritional, physiologic, developmental and neoplastic diseases, environmental contamination, and other factors impinging on the health and survival of free-living or occasionally captive populations of wild animals, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Papers on zoonoses involving wildlife and on chemical immobilization of wild animals are also published. Manuscripts dealing with surveys and case reports may be published in the Journal provided that they contain significant new information or have significance for better understanding health and disease in wild populations. Authors are encouraged to address the wildlife management implications of their studies, where appropriate.
