AB  - The aim of the present work was to comparatively assess the occurrence and impact 
      of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in nine natural and national parks from 
      Spain and Portugal using gull eggs (Larus michahellis and L. audouinii) as 
      bioindicators of environmental contamination. Sampling was performed during the 
      breeding season of 2016. Compounds studied include polychlorinated biphenyls 
      (PCBs), organochlorinated pesticides (OC pesticides), perfluorooctane sulfonic 
      acid (PFOS) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and were analyzed using 
      mass spectrometric based techniques. The results showed a high contamination by 
      PCBs in all colonies, with total levels ranging from 59 to 1278ng/g wet weight 
      (ww), despite their use is not currently authorized. OC pesticides were also 
      present in all colonies, with a high incidence of 4,4'-DDE in gull eggs at levels 
      up to 218+/-50ng/g ww in L. michahellis and 760+/-412ng/g ww in L. audouinii from the 
      Ebro Delta natural park. PBDEs and PFOS were also detected at levels up to 
      91.7+/-21.3ng/g ww, which can be attributed to a more recent use. Except for PBDEs, 
      the POP levels in eggs from L. audouinii were higher than in L. michahellis, 
      presumably associated to the fish-based diet of the former. Finally, the effect 
      of POP levels on eggshell parameters (volume, eggshell thickness and desiccation 
      index) were investigated for each colony and gull species in order to evaluate 
      the egg viability and, therefore, the reproduction success.
