AB  - To support environmental management programs, there is an urgent need to know 
      about the presence and understand the dynamics of major contaminants in seabird 
      communities of key marine ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the 
      concentrations and trophodynamics of trace elements in six seabird species and 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in three seabird species breeding on Grand 
      Connetable Island (French Guiana), an area where the increase in human population 
      and mining activities has raised concerns in recent years. Red blood cell Hg 
      concentrations in adults were the highest in Magnificent frigatebirds Fregata 
      magnificens (median: 5.6 mug g(-1) dw; range: 3.8-7.8 mug g(-1) dw) and lowest in 
      Sooty terns Onychoprion fuscatus (median: 0.9 mug g(-1) dw; range: 
      0.6-1.1 mug g(-1) dw). Among POPs, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE) was 
      the most abundant compound in plasma of Cayenne terns Thalasseus sandvicensis 
      (median: 1100 pg g(-1) ww; range: 160 +/- 5100 pg g(-1) ww), while polychlorinated 
      biphenyls (PCBs) were the most abundant compound class in plasma of Magnificent 
      frigatebirds (median: 640 pg g(-1) ww; range 330 +/- 2700 pg g(-1) ww). While low 
      intensity of POP exposure does not appear to pose a health threat to this seabird 
      community, Hg concentration in several adults Laughing gulls Leucophaeus 
      atricilla and Royal terns Thalasseus maximus, and in all Magnificent frigatebirds 
      was similar or higher than that of high contaminated seabird populations. 
      Furthermore, nestling red blood cells also contained Hg concentrations of 
      concern, and further studies should investigate its potential health impact in 
      this seabird community. Differences in adult trophic ecology of the six species 
      explained interspecific variation in exposure to trace element and POPs, while 
      nestling trophic ecology provides indications about the diverse feeding 
      strategies adopted by the six species, with the consequent variation in exposure 
      to contaminants.
