On behalf of my co-authors, I am pleased to announce the recent publication: Noren DP, Johnson S, Boyd D, Ylitalo GM, Lundin J, McCormley M, Jensen ED. The dynamics of persistent organic pollutant (POP) transfer from female bottlenose dolphins (*Tursiops truncatus*) to their calves during lactation. Sci Total Environ. Volume 907, 10 January 2024, 167888, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167888
Highlights •Studies on contaminant transfer from female delphinids to calves are limited. •This is the first longitudinal study of contaminant transfer in live dolphins. •Female milk and blood toxicant levels decline while calf blood levels increase. •Female reproductive history and chemical structure influence contaminant transfer. •Data are useful for predictive models and evaluating exposure risk to calves. Free PDF downloads of the article are available at this link through Dec. 13th: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1h%7EIeB8ccyhD2 PDFs are also available upon request to dawn.no...@noaa.gov Dawn Noren, PhD Research Fishery Biologist, Conservation Biology Division NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center
