Unravelling fish community assembly in shallow lakes: Insights from functional and phylogenetic diversity

Yintao Jia et al.

Summary: In 30 shallow lakes, patterns of functional and phylogenetic alpha diversity in fishes were examined, revealing no clear patterns among multiple biodiversity components and their environmental drivers, with no single component serving as a reliable proxy for another. Results suggest that accounting for both functional and phylogenetic diversity can help explain fish community variation.

Reevaluating trophic discrimination factors (Δδ13C and Δδ15N) for diet reconstruction

Ryan B. Stephens et al.

Summary: Stable isotope analysis is commonly used in assessing diets and trophic positions of animals. However, the imprecise applications of trophic discrimination factors (TDFs) can lead to biased conclusions. A meta-analysis of mammals revealed that TDF values are influenced by metabolic routing, consumer class, dietary source, and the protein versus energy content of diets. The study suggests that relying solely on taxonomic relatedness for TDF selection should be avoided, and field-derived estimates can be used when TDF gaps exist within a consumer class. Standard TDF trophic step values should be abandoned, and instead, TDF values should be selected based on diet source, consumer class, and tissue type.

High rates of mercury biomagnification in fish from Amazonian floodplain-lake food webs

Kelsey Nyholt et al.

Summary: Despite low mercury baselines and limited mercury accumulation rates in tropical regions, high fish consumption and elevated mercury concentrations in fish pose significant health risks for populations. This study found high mercury concentrations in fishes from floodplain lakes in the Jurua River, Amazonas, Brazil, with nearly 70% of the samples exceeding the recommended human-consumption guidelines. The high rate of trophic magnification and higher-than-expected mercury concentrations in herbivorous species suggest the need for further research on mercury exposure in tropical rainforest regions.

Heavy metals in Chinese freshwater fish: Levels, regional distribution, sources and health risk assessment

Liuhuan Ai et al.

Summary: This study reviewed the accumulation and distribution patterns of heavy metals in freshwater fish in nine basins of China from 2010 to 2020 and assessed their health risks. The results showed that the pollution level of heavy metals in Chinese freshwater fish is at an intermediate level internationally. The concentration of heavy metals in artificially farmed freshwater fish is higher than that in wild fish, and the noncarcinogenic risks are higher for children.

Arctic mercury cycling

Ashu Dastoor et al.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive assessment of the present-day total mercury mass balance in the Arctic. The majority of mercury is transported to the Arctic via air and ocean transport, and the deposition mainly occurs in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in soils. Rivers and coastal erosion transfer a significant amount of terrestrial mercury to the Arctic Ocean, in approximate balance with net terrestrial mercury deposition. The revised Arctic Ocean mercury mass balance suggests that the deposition to the ocean and mercury burial in inner-shelf sediments are underestimated, calling for the need for seasonal observations.

Mechanisms of Environment-Induced Autoimmunity

K. Michael Pollard et al.

Summary: While many environmental exposures are suggested as triggers for preclinical autoimmunity, only a few have been confidently linked to autoimmune diseases. Lung is a common site where chronic exposure can result in cellular toxicity, tissue damage, inflammation, and fibrosis, exacerbated by particulate material. The process involves posttranslational modification of self-antigens, formation of tertiary lymphoid structures containing B cells, and generation of autoantibodies, which may have diagnostic specificity under gene-environment interactions. Understanding the molecular and cellular requirements distinguishing preclinical autoimmunity from clinical autoimmune disease could help determine the significance of environmental exposures in human autoimmune disease.

Mercury Bioaccumulation in Benthic Invertebrates: From Riverine Sediments to Higher Trophic Levels

Laura Marziali et al.

Summary: Riverine sediments serve as important sites for mercury methylation, with benthic invertebrates potentially indicating mercury exposure to higher organisms. A study in the Toce River in Northern Italy found that mercury concentrations in invertebrates increased from grazers to predators, while methylmercury was predominantly found in biota, posing potential risks for top predators.

Understanding trophic structure variation in fish assemblages of subtropical shallow lakes: Combined effects of ecosystem size, productivity, and disturbance

Yintao Jia et al.

Summary: Global environmental change has altered biotic interactions in ecosystems. Trophic structure is a major characteristic of ecosystems, and understanding the factors determining trophic structure is important for predicting the response of ecological dynamics and ecosystem services to future environmental change. Different kinds of drivers, including ecosystem size, productivity, and disturbance, have been proposed to explain trophic structure variation in various ecosystems. The relative importance of ecosystem size, productivity, and disturbance in influencing the trophic structure of fish assemblages in 30 subtropical shallow lakes was evaluated, showing that these factors did not affect food chain length, but did impact the mean trophic level and the proportion of species at specific trophic levels.

Ariana M. Chiapella et al.

Summary: The study found that mercury concentrations in fish in mountain lakes are influenced by various factors such as catchment tree cover, lake benthic primary production, and fish diet. Tree cover and fish diet are the main factors contributing to variations in mercury concentrations in fish, with benthic feeding fish tending to have higher mercury concentrations.

Drivers of variability in mercury and methylmercury bioaccumulation and biomagnification in temperate freshwater lakes

Sophie Gentes et al.

Summary: The four largest freshwater lakes in southwestern France are important both ecologically and economically, but some are contaminated with mercury. Higher mercury levels were found in the northern lakes compared to the southern lakes, particularly in carnivorous fish. Methylmercury biomagnification was observed in the food webs of all four lakes, indicating the potential impact of anthropogenic inputs on mercury methylation in freshwater ecosystems.

Widespread variation in stable isotope trophic position estimates: patterns, causes, and potential consequences

MacKenzie K. Kjeldgaard et al.

Summary: Stable isotope analysis is widely used to estimate trophic position and provide insight into ecological communities, but the variation in baselines and methodologies may lead to biased or erroneous conclusions. It is recommended to combine stable isotope analysis with other techniques, increase sample size, and use specific methods to enhance the robustness and accuracy of conclusions based on stable isotopes.

Environmental and biological factors are joint drivers of mercury biomagnification in subarctic lake food webs along a climate and productivity gradient

Natalia Kozak et al.

Summary: Subarctic lakes are experiencing increased temperature and productivity, leading to higher levels of mercury biomagnification influenced by climate, productivity, and land-use practices. Biomagnification levels vary across lakes, with factors such as food chain length, climate-productivity gradient, and elemental ratios affecting mercury baseline and trophic magnification slope. Additionally, top predator THg content in lakes increases with warmer and more productive environments.

Exposure to methylmercury and inorganic mercury in the food does not lead to trophic magnification in the sea star Asterias rubens

Poul Bjerregaard et al.

Summary: The laboratory experiments showed that sea stars accumulated the highest concentrations of methylmercury and inorganic mercury in their digestive glands and pyloric caeca after being fed contaminated mussels for 49 days. Steady states were reached for both mercury forms in the sea stars during the 7-week feeding period, with concentrations approximately 1/2 and 1/4 of the levels found in the mussel food. Additionally, the sea stars eliminated inorganic mercury faster than methylmercury during a 140-day elimination period following the feeding period.
