AB  - Little is known about the accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      and its consequences for seabirds in the Mediterranean basin. We characterised 
      the plasma contaminant profile (polychlorinated biphenyls SigmaPCBs; organochlorine 
      pesticides SigmaOCPs; polybrominated diphenyl ethers SigmaPBDEs) of a population of the 
      seabird Scopoli's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) that breeds in the southern 
      Mediterranean (Linosa Island) and investigated (i) whether sex, stable isotope 
      ratios (related to diet), reproductive phase (early incubation vs. late breeding 
      season) and body mass explained variation in contaminant burden and (ii) whether 
      they predict health-related variables. The predominant category of POPs was SigmaPCBs 
      contributing between 53.0 and 92.4% of the total POPs in each shearwater. The 
      percentage contribution of SigmaOCPs to total POPs ranged between 7.6 and 47.0%, 
      while that of SigmaPBDEs ranged between <1% and 22.1%. Near the end of the breeding 
      season, concentrations of SigmaPCBs, SigmaOCPs and SigmaPOPs were significantly higher than 
      at the beginning of the incubation period. SigmaPBDEs were higher in males than 
      females near the end of the breeding season, while they were higher in females 
      than males at the beginning of the egg incubation period. Carbon- and nitrogen 
      isotope ratios and individual body mass were not significantly associated with 
      any contaminant class. Mates differed in the concentration of POPs, but they had 
      similar stable isotope values. There was little evidence for a connection between 
      contaminants and blood-based markers of oxidative balance. None of the 
      contaminants predicted the probability of a bird being resighted as a breeder the 
      following year. Thus, although POPs were present at high concentrations in some 
      individuals, our study suggests little concern regarding POP exposure for this 
      shearwater population.
