AB  - Little information is available on the bioaccumulation of halogenated flame 
      retardants (HFRs) in terrestrial ecosystem. Eggs of light-vented bulbul, 
      yellow-bellied prinia, plain prinia, and dark green white-eye were collected from 
      an ecological station in the Pearl River Delta, South China to investigate the 
      occurrence of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and several alternative 
      HFRs, including decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), dechlorane plus (DP), 
      hexabromobenzene (HBB), pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB), 
      1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), pentabromotoluene (PBT), and 
      2,3,5,6-tetrabromo-p-xylene (pTBX). Concentrations of PBDEs, DBDPE, DP, HBB, 
      PBEB, BTBPE, PBT, and pTBX ranged from 53-423, 6.1-609, 4.6-268, not detected 
      (nd)-10, nd-1.4, nd-1.7, nd-7.5, and nd-3.2 ng g(-1) lw, respectively. 
      Light-vented bulbul exhibited significantly lower levels of PBDEs, DBDPE, DP, and 
      HBB than other three bird species due to its phytophagy and the other three bird 
      species' insectivores. PBDEs were the predominant HFRs in bird eggs, followed by 
      DBDPE and DP. Significant negative relationship between the fraction of anti-DP 
      and DP concentrations was observed in bird eggs, suggesting that DP levels play 
      an important role in determining the isomeric composition. Anti-Cl11-DP, the 
      dechlorinated products of DP, was found in bird eggs with concentrations ranging 
      from nd to 0.86 ng g(-1) lw and its source is worth further research.
