The black-legged kittiwake preen gland—an overlooked organ for depuration of fat-soluble contaminants?
Solheim, Silje Aakre; Sagerup, Kjetil; Huber, Sandra; Byrkjedal, Ingvar; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-18)Most birds preen their feathers with an oily excrete from the uropygial (preen) gland. This oily excrete contains persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which make the preen gland a potential route of depuration of POPs in ... -
