Blood Levels of Different Trace Elements in the Endangered Iberian Lynx (<em>Lynx pardinus</em>) and Their Association with Endogenous and Exogenous Factors
2026-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are persistent contaminants that can bioaccumulate and transfer through food webs, making wildlife valuable sentinels of ecosystem health. This study provides the first characterization of metal and metalloid concentrations in whole blood from free-ranging Iberian lynxes (Lynx pardinus) and evaluates biological and environmental factors influencing their variability, including com...
