Expanding the use of portable XRF to monitor lead exposure in an Australian duck species two decades after a ban on lead shot

Damien Nzabanita et al.

Summary: There is a growing recognition worldwide about the threat of toxic lead to wildlife and humans. This study aimed to estimate contemporary lead exposure in Australian waterfowl by measuring bone lead concentrations in Pacific black ducks. The use of portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) showed that lead exposure levels in these ducks have significantly decreased compared to historical studies from the 1990s, indicating the effectiveness of the lead shot ban in reducing lead exposure in waterfowl.

Characterising a unique recreational hunting method: hound hunting of sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) in Victoria, Australia

Jordan O. Hampton et al.

Summary: This study aims to characterize hound hunting of sambar deer in Victoria, Australia. The results showed that most hunting teams were successful in harvesting deer, with highly variable pursuit times and distances. Deer were more likely to be killed on steeper slopes and closer to roads. Summary ends.

A comparison of lead-based and lead-free bullets for shooting sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) in Australia

Jordan O. Hampton et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the shooting efficiency and animal welfare outcomes of lead-based and lead-free (copper-based) bullets for shooting sambar deer in Victoria, southeastern Australia. The results showed that both bullet types produced similar animal welfare outcomes, suggesting that a transition to lead-free ammunition would have minimal impact on efficiency or animal welfare outcomes.

Diet and dog characteristics affect major and trace elements in hair and blood of healthy dogs

Sarah Rosendahl et al.

Summary: The study found correlations between hair and blood element concentrations in healthy companion dogs, with factors such as sex, age, hair color, and diet influencing major and trace element status. Hair can be an alternative method for assessing Hg and Pb exposure, highlighting the importance of considering various factors in promoting dog health.

HEALTH STATUS INCLUDING LEAD LEVELS OF NESTLING BALD EAGLES (HALIAEETUS LEUCOCEPHALUS) ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA IN 2012 AND 2013

Emma Vaasjo et al.

Summary: This study examines the health status of wild bald eagles in Eastern Canada, focusing on biochemistry reference intervals, hematological parameters, and background lead accumulation. The findings reveal the presence of lead accumulation in some nestling eagles, with a decrease in the odds of lead accumulation as weight and body condition score increase. These results provide valuable insights for further research and clinical cases, as well as the study of subclinical lead accumulation in growing raptors.

Managing macropods without poisoning ecosystems

Jordan O. Hampton et al.

Summary: Expanding professional shooting of macropods in Australia may lead to better biodiversity and animal welfare outcomes, but the reliance on toxic lead-based ammunition poses a significant threat to scavengers. Transitioning to lead-free alternatives is crucial for achieving environmental and animal welfare goals in macropod management.

European mammal exposure to lead from ammunition and fishing weight sources

Louise Chiverton et al.

Summary: Ammunition and fishing weight usage is a major contributor of lead deposition to the European environment. A qualitative risk assessment identified various pathways for European mammals to be exposed to lead, including ingestion of water and vegetation with elevated lead levels, as well as ingestion of retained ammunition. Further investigation is needed to understand the mechanisms of lead transfer through the food chain.

Lead exposure in American black bears increases with age and big game harvest density

Ludovick Brown et al.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term lead (Pb) exposure in American black bears in areas with higher big game harvest densities in Quebec, Canada. The results showed that female black bears had higher tooth Pb concentrations in these areas, and older bears had higher tooth Pb concentrations compared to younger ones. The study suggests that hunters may drive mammalian scavengers into an evolutionary trap due to increased Pb exposure from bullet fragments.

High Frequency of Lead Exposure in the Population of an Endangered Australian Top Predator, the Tasmanian Wedge-Tailed Eagle (Aquila audax fleayi)

James M. Pay et al.

Summary: Lead exposure was found in Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagles in Australia, with 100% of carcasses testing positive for lead and elevated concentrations in some samples. This highlights the threat of lead-based ammunition exposure to raptors and underscores the importance of addressing lead contamination in the ecosystem.

High concentrations of lead (Pb) in blood and milk of free-ranging brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Scandinavia

Boris Fuchs et al.

Summary: Exposure to lead remains a problem for wildlife species despite the overall reduction of Pb entering the environment, with Scandinavian brown bears showing high blood Pb concentrations that may have adverse effects on both individual and population levels. Lactating females have higher Pb blood concentrations compared to younger, non-lactating females.

Assessing Lead Exposure in Free-ranging Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) in Minnesota, USA

Janetta Kelly et al.

Summary: The study found that 10 out of 147 hunter-harvested wolves were exposed to lead, with only one showing high levels of lead exposure suggesting lead toxicosis. Lead exposure varied by time of harvest, with most lead-exposed wolves taken in the late hunting and trapping season. Additionally, the availability of viscera on the landscape may influence the risk of lead exposure to wolves.

Portable X-ray fluorescence for bone lead measurements of Australian eagles

Jordan O. Hampton et al.

Summary: This study validated the method of measuring bone lead in Australian raptors using portable XRF, showing a good correlation with ICP-MS results. The findings revealed that majority of wedge-tailed eagles in mainland Australia have elevated lead levels, with some experiencing severe lead exposure. The results support the use of portable XRF as a useful and cost-effective option for measuring bone lead in Australian scavenger species.
