- •
Trace element pollution may be a major environmental issue in urban environments.
- •
Feather trace elements and CORT levels were assessed along an urbanization gradient.
- •
Urbanization was associated with increased trace element contamination.
- •
Corticosterone levels were positively related to Cd, Hg and Pb concentrations.
- •
Urbanization constrains birds and this effect could be mediated by trace elements.
