- •
We obtain baseline blood concentrations of mercury of the Blue-footed Booby breeding at Isla El Rancho, Sinaloa, Mexico.
- •
Mercury concentrations decreased gradually as the breeding season progressed, possibly due to changes in mercury environmental availability.
- •
Adult males had higher mercury concentration than adult females throughout the breeding season.
- •
Pre-fledging chicks had lower mercury concentration than adults, without sex-related differences.
