Graphical depiction of a seasonal wetland engineered to have a deeper pool and more open water on the downstream side of the wetland. This management strategy was tested during a 3-year period to determine if it resulted in a reduction of methylmercury in caged fish and surface water.

Graphical depiction of three sources of variation that can affect accumulation of methylmercury in black rails: habitat (sediment) biogeochemistry, food web structure and biomagnification, and diet composition. Methylmercury moves from the sediment into the wetland food web and accumulates in rail tissues.
