TI  - Plasma concentrations of organohalogenated pollutants in predatory bird 
      nestlings: associations to growth rate and dietary tracers.

AB  - The extent to which persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with different 
      physicochemical properties originated from the food (dietary input) was assessed 
      in raptor nestlings. Lipophilic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 153, 
      1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (p,p'-DDE), and hexachlorobenzene 
      (HCB), and protein-bound perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), were measured 
      repeatedly in blood plasma of individual goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and 
      white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) nestlings, 1 to 3 wk after hatching and 
      near fledging. Maternally derived POPs dilute as nestlings grow (growth 
      dilution), and increasing plasma concentrations would indicate dietary input. 
      First, plasma concentrations given no dietary input were estimated, and 
      concentrations of p,p'-DDE, HCB, and notably PFOS were significantly higher than 
      predicted from a growth-dilution scenario (approximately 1.5-fold to 2.5-fold 
      higher; p < 0.001). In contrast, PCB 153 declined in both species, although 
      concentrations were still higher than predicted in white-tailed eagle nestlings 
      (p < 0.05). Second, the relationships between plasma POP concentrations and 
      trophic position (delta(15) N) and dietary carbon source (delta(13) C) were analyzed, 
      controlling for growth rate. Both delta(15) N and delta(13) C (measured in body feathers) 
      were significantly associated to the accumulation of most POPs, except PFOS. In 
      conclusion, pollutant data acquired in plasma of nestling raptors should be 
      interpreted and further investigated in the light of individual feeding ecology, 
      and the use of raptor nestlings as sentinels for POP monitoring could be 
      optimized by correcting for different factors such as body condition, brood size, 
      and age.
