[Odonata-l] mercury in dragonflies

[John Hudson]

Does anyone out there know of studies which have examined mercury levels in Odonata?Alaska, being downwind of China, experiences high levels of mercury fallout. This mercury is methylated in our abundant wetlands and biomagnifies. I would like to measure mercury levels in odonata and perhaps compare individuals from habitats with varying capacities to methylate mercury.
