Retrospective: Adjusting Contaminant Concentrations in Bird Eggs to Account for Moisture and Lipid Loss During Their Incubation.

The article discusses findings of a study which examines the impacts of chlorinated pesticide residues as contaminants of predatory and scavenging bird eggs during incubation in North America and Europe. The study explores the factors of the wildlife toxicology citation and the challenges of estimating the volume of egg contents, water displacement and shell quality. The study also outlines the importance of expressing residue concentrations on avian eggs and wildlife protection.
