The 33 pages that link to Biomagnification, each with the reason it gives.

• BioindicatorRelated: Predators can indicate persistent pollutants concentrated through their diets.

• Food webRelated: Feeding links can carry persistent pollutants toward top consumers.

• Marine pollutionRelated: Contaminants can become more concentrated as predators consume contaminated prey.

• Water pollutionRelated: Some persistent contaminants become more concentrated as they move through aquatic food webs.

• Trophic levelRelated: Feeding position predicts exposure to contaminants that accumulate through food webs.

• CarnivoryRelated: Carnivores can accumulate pollutants carried by the animals they consume.

• Persistent organic pollutantRelated: Persistent pollutants that accumulate in prey can reach especially high concentrations in predators.

• Aquatic food webRelated: Feeding links can amplify persistent contaminants toward top predators.

• DDTRelated: DDT concentrations rose in predators that ate contaminated prey.

• Mercury (element)Related: Methylmercury concentrations can rise from prey to predators, including humans.

• PiscivoryRelated: Piscivores can receive concentrated contaminants from the fish they eat.

• Silent SpringRelated: Carson showed how persistent pesticides could accumulate in predators through feeding relationships.

• BiomonitoringRelated: Food-web concentration explains why biomonitoring top predators can reveal persistent pollutants.

• Minamata diseaseRelated: It concentrated methylmercury from aquatic organisms into fish and shellfish eaten by residents.

• EcotoxicologyRelated: Explains why persistent contaminants can reach high concentrations in predators.

• NeurotoxinRelated: It can elevate human exposure to neurotoxic pollutants such as methylmercury.

• Pesticide residueRelated: Some persistent residues become more concentrated along food chains.

• PollutionRelated: Some pollutants become more concentrated in predators than in their prey.

• Food chainRelated: Eating contaminated prey can concentrate pollutants toward the chain’s upper links.

• MethylmercuryRelated: Predators can receive methylmercury from many contaminated prey, increasing concentrations up the food web.

• PoisonRelated: Persistent poisons can become more concentrated as they pass through food webs.

• Aquatic toxicityRelated: Some contaminants intensify through aquatic food webs, exposing predators to high concentrations.

• Environmental fateRelated: Persistent, bioavailable substances can become more concentrated through food webs.

• Mercury in fishRelated: Predatory fish often contain more methylmercury because it concentrates up the aquatic food web.

• Freshwater food webRelated: Predators can accumulate pollutants carried through freshwater feeding relationships.

• Metal toxicityRelated: Some metal contaminants become more concentrated in food webs, increasing exposure in predators.

• AldrinRelated: Aldrin-related residues can become more concentrated in predators than in their food.

• DieldrinRelated: Predators can receive concentrated dieldrin from contaminated prey.

• HalocarbonRelated: Persistent, fat-soluble halocarbons can become more concentrated in predators.

• ToxapheneRelated: Toxaphene residues can become more concentrated in predators than in their prey.
