Seasonal mercury concentrations and the microbiome (de)methylation gene expression profile in the Svalbard reindeer
This project aims to study the contributions of the Svalbard reindeer to mercury concentrations in the terrestrial trophic chain. We hypothesize that the reindeer are exposed to mercury loads via their diet and that both seasonal variations in mercury intake and microbial processes in its digesti...
